Maths at Notley

Our students are rising to real challenge. This year our sixth formers took on the UK Senior Mathematical Challenge, a demanding national paper of problem-solving and reasoning sat by tens of thousands of students. Only around a third of entrants receive a certificate, and Gold goes to roughly the top 10% nationally.

Our students achieved 2 Gold, 4 Silver and 7 Bronze certificates, and our two Gold winners now progress to the next round. You will join a department that is ambitious for every student, from those securing their grade 4 and 5 to those competing nationally.

Your team

You will join a friendly, collaborative maths team where colleagues plan together, share ideas and look out for one another. Our Head of Department is an experienced leader and a member of the Senior Leadership Team, so maths has a strong voice in the school and you will be well supported from day one.
