Teacher of Mathematics - Part time

The Role

We wish to appoint a part time teacher of Mathematics to join our creative and innovative department which is highly successful both in terms of attainment and progress. Applications are welcome from experienced and Early Careers Teachers able to teach Mathematics throughout the ability range at KS3 and KS4 (with KS5 desirable, but not essential). Excellent support is available from a very experienced team.

Mathematics is extremely popular in the Sixth Form, where A level Mathematics, A level Further Mathematics and Core Mathematics are delivered. Students follow the Edexcel Mathematics syllabus at GCSE and at A-level. The department also offers enrichment courses of GCSE Statistics and OCR FSMQ Additional Mathematics to students at KS4. We are involved in the Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Mathematics Challenges organised by the UKMT, where our students consistently progress to the follow-on rounds at all levels.
