To that end, we are looking to appoint an inspiring and committed teacher to join our vibrant Maths department.

We offer a creative Key Stage 3 Maths curriculum, as part of our unique connected curriculum. We deliver GCSE Maths across years 9, 10 and 11, with results improving yearly. We have good numbers moving from Year 11 into Post 16 Maths, where we deliver a high quality programme of A level teaching. We deliver Level 3 core Maths, A level Maths and A level Further Maths.

Within the department we have experienced ECF mentors, who can fully support Early Careers Teachers beginning their teaching career.

There is scope for the right candidate to progress and assume additional responsibilities within the school or department.

You will join a wider dedicated team of teachers and staff at an exciting time of growth and expansion for the school. We are committed to providing access to technology for all by providing chromebooks to all of our students and staff and developing innovative blended learning approaches to teaching.

The successful candidate will be a great teacher and someone who has strong interpersonal skills and a passion for making a difference to young peoples’ lives. Teachers of other subjects will be considered, alongside a commitment to retrain to specialise in Maths.

As a school we offer:
