We are seeking to appointment an outstanding, ambitious and motivated individual, with a passion for inspiring students from January 2026. The ability to teach A level is essential. The post would suit either a newly qualified teacher or a more experienced teacher looking to work in a successful and dynamic department.

The Mathematics Department aims to provide a supportive, enjoyable and stimulating environment where students are inspired to achieve.

The department is committed to encouraging all pupils to achieve the highest possible academic standards. We aim to promote questioning minds, inventiveness and creativity through the use of mathematical investigations, problem-solving, mathematical puzzles and logic problems. Practical and interactive activities are an important feature of lessons.

Students participate in four UK Mathematics Challenge competitions each year, including the UKMT Team Challenge. Differentiated activities are provided in all lessons and study support sessions are offered to those who need more time in consolidating their knowledge.

Students are in mixed ability sets Year 7, then set by ability in Year 8 onwards. We have a maths mastery approach, and make sure that topics are covered in depth rather than breadth, and our assessments are rigorous, and carefully mapped out. The Foundation IGCSE is mapped out for students in Years 7-9 and all students follow the same course, so there is flexibility of movement between sets. At the end of Year 9 students sit a foundation paper which determines whether they recap the foundation topics, or continue on to higher in Years 10 and 11. Level 2 Further Maths is also offered to high achievers in Year 11.

In the Sixth Form, both Mathematics and Further Mathematics are available at A Level, following the Edexcel Examination Board syllabus. The courses are linear, with exams sat at the end of two years. There is no coursework.

We are delighted to welcome applications from candidates who share our core values and who are able to contribute to our continued future success. We recruit staff of the highest calibre who will inspire, support and challenge the pupils, and fellow colleagues, to achieve their full potential.
