What skills and experience we're looking for

Crestwood Community School is one school, with two campuses serving Eastleigh. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and ambitious person to join our Mathematics faculty from September 2026. The department is exceptionally upbeat, forward-thinking, and innovative and one which is cohesive, team spirited and very well led. We are looking for someone who can play an active role in contributing to the already high standards within the department. We are seeking to appoint someone who will be ambitious for our students and have a vision for the further development of the Maths curriculum and intervention program. The challenge for the successful applicants will be to contribute to further developing an already strong subject and continue to raise standards at both KS3 and KS4. Our department's vision is to build mathematicians, by providing our students with an engaging, enriching and challenging curriculum.

This role would suit an experienced teacher or an ECT looking for their first post after qualifying.

The department is forward thinking, knowledgeable and fully committed to supporting the students to achieve their very best. The close staff team regularly do maths together, enabling them to develop and challenge the teaching of mathematics, sharing of research, resources and current thinking. The team plans together each week driving up the standards of teaching and learning, ensuring our students learn effectively and providing effective CPD for teachers.

We have worked hard to create classroom environments where expectations are high and getting things wrong is a recognised part of the learning journey. Our students are grouped carefully to ensure that all make progress and are challenged and supported appropriately, whilst offering additional focus sessions for students who need further challenge, or extra support.

The department is housed in five classrooms on the Shakespeare campus and five at the Cherbourg Road campus. All students are taught Mathematics at KS3 and KS4.

In Mathematics at Key Stage 3, students have seven one hour lessons every fortnight. They undertake a wide range of topics within the National Curriculum with opportunities to reason and practise their mathematical fluency.. In year 11, students also have eight one hour lessons every fortnight.
