What skills and experience we're looking for
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an inspirational, enthusiastic and talented teacher to join the Maths Department from September 2025. Applications from Newly Qualified Teachers are encouraged and an excellent NQT package would be available if appropriate.

You will join a close knit team that are achieving special things, with GCSE results well above National, and one that is at the forefront of Mastery work in maths.
