ECTs are warmly welcomed.
With you in our classrooms, we can change lives.
We're looking for a Maths Teacher to join our Mathematics department at New Forest Academy.
Ready for your talents to be nurtured?
We are excited to be able to offer a role within this department. The Maths team comes from a range of backgrounds and experience and they are all friendly, fun, and love what they do. Our ideal candidate will have a fresh perspective, ideally be an ECT with lots of enthusiasm; be ambitious and eager to develop. Through our trust network - Lift Schools - we offer a high quality ECT programme, delivered by Ambition Institute. Each programme is tailored to meet individual needs and skills.
If you join us, you will benefit from a well-resourced curriculum and a dedicated hour of department co-planning, built into the weekly timetable. The school believes strongly in a healthy work-life balance so there is an efficient approach to marking and assessment across all departments. We offer a wide variety of field trips, extra-curricular activities, and staff social events; all of which will develop you professionally and embed you into the school community. We know it can be daunting starting a new role, especially if you are relatively new to teaching, but we have an inclusive, welcoming culture within our close-knit school.
Student behaviour at the school is exemplary, with Ofsted recently noting that: "Pupils' behaviour is excellent in lessons, and conduct in social time is orderly. Pupils are polite and respectful. Kindness is one of the school's core values, and there were many examples of this during the inspection." We are proud of our Ofsted outcomes - scoring Good across the board - and we encourage applicants to read our report.
This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of young people.

Our vision is to enable ambitious futures for all members of our academy community. We strive to ensure that expert teaching of our exciting curriculum allows students from all backgrounds to fulfil their academic potential. We achieve this by sequencing the most important and compelling knowledge backwards from ambitious curriculum aims, and adapting what we teach to our local context. Our passionate team of subject experts deliver chosen content through research-based, best practice approaches. We provide exceptional opportunities to develop the unique interests and talents of our students, and to prepare them for life in modern Britain. Strong relationships and first-class support across the community ensure that students are safe, happy and successful.
