ECTs warmly welcomed
With you in our classrooms, we can change lives.
We're looking for a dedicated Teacher of Maths to join our warm, supportive team at Winton Community Academy from September 2025.
Ready for your talents to be nurtured?
This is a fantastic role for a newly qualified or more experienced Maths teacher, as we can offer mentorship (or the opportunity to mentor) and a world-class induction programme, delivered through our trust network (Lift Schools) via Ambition Institute. Your ECT programme is tailored to your specific needs and skills and you will benefit from our friendly, kind and experienced team who are able to lead by example.
For more experienced colleagues, we can offer you potential leadership opportunities, and/or the chance to mentor PGCE/ITT students, for those who are interested. Through our trust network, we can offer you the possibility to gain your National Professional qualifications at either middle leadership or senior leadership level.
Our Mathematics department is an ambitious, rapidly improving department, with a positive Progress 8 score (having improved by 0.3 over the past 3 years) and our 4+ GCSE results last year came out at 69%. We have a well-resourced curriculum, teaching OCR Foundation and Edexcel for Higher Maths, but the Head of Department is open, supportive and always eager to always consider new, improved methods of teaching. The department works collaboratively, making the most of their protected co-planning time.
Outside of school hours, many of the department enjoy regularly playing sports together and they have frequent team socials. We strongly believe in a healthy work-life balance so there is a streamlined approach to marking and assessment, which runs alongside digital tools to reduce teacher workload. Mathematics is a popular subject at Winton and our students love to get involved in field trips and extra-curricular activities. The team is vibrant, energetic and fun and loves to share ideas and work together to make every day interesting and rewarding.
This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of young people.

Lift Winton is a rapidly improving 11-16 school situated in Andover in the centre of Hampshire, a short commute from Winchester, Salisbury and many picturesque Hampshire villages.
We are a large secondary school (1031 students) and offer tailored learning opportunities and a creative curriculum which meets the needs of our whole school community.
Winton has many strengths and people who visit are always impressed with our outstanding students, excellent facilities and calm, purposeful learning environment.
Winton aims to provide an outstanding education for all of the local children. What we want is an outstanding Andover education system for Andover children. The vision needs to be that all three phases of education in Andover are all excellent. Winton is very much at the centre of this vision.
The most important part of any school is the quality of the teaching. When walking around the corridors at Winton you will see students engaged in their learning and being challenged to think. The expectation is to have a positive mindset, an 'I can...' attitude to their learning. Rather than thinking "I can't do", this students are encouraged to think 'I can't do this...yet'. Classrooms are positive because of the positive relationships between students and teaching staff. Expectations are high, with regular and meaningful homework and innovative and engaging classwork which embraces new ideas and new technologies.
Our Curriculum
Our vision for the delivery of a broad and balanced 11-19 curriculum is founded on the following key principles:
Students can progress at their own pace but with staff ensuring that there is always pace and challenge
Technologies e.g. ICT will be as available as electricity and seen as another utility, which will facilitate learning in different contexts;
Personalised learning will be a reality with a wide ranging curriculum, which provides far more choice and less prescription;
Learning experiences will be coherent, integrated and not fragmented with an emphasis on learning and skill acquisition and transferal;
The curriculum will develop lifelong learners who will be able to adapt to take up jobs in the future, which do not presently exist;
The curriculum will embrace wider curriculum opportunities that bring learning to life in vivid fashion;
The curriculum will reflect the values and beliefs outlined previously: personal development is integral to the outcomes of the curriculum and success measures for this curriculum.
Ofsted
Winton was recently inspected by Ofsted and for the second time running has been recognised as a “Good” school.
The report sets out how the school has high aspirations for all their pupils, preparing them for the next stages of life with a curriculum that is “relevant and ambitious.” Inspectors noted that staff at Winton appreciated leaders’ efforts to help manage workloads.
The school has also been praised for their decisive response to the challenges students face post-Covid, including forging positive relationships with pupils to better help their behaviour and personal development. The report recognises the efforts to create a healthy school culture, by creating a “strong system for support” that helps to improve all areas of school life. We warmly welcome any interested prospective candidates to come and see our school in person.

Lift Schools is made up of 57 primary, secondary and special schools, educating more than 33,000 pupils across the country. We believe education can transform lives – and we want every child in our schools to achieve their full potential.
Our mission:
