Teacher of Mathematics - High-Performing Secondary School...

A well-regarded 11–18 secondary school in Nottingham is seeking a skilled and motivated Teacher of Mathematics to join its established and forward-thinking Maths department. The school has built a strong reputation for academic outcomes, structured pastoral systems and a calm, purposeful learning culture.

Mathematics is a core strength of the school. GCSE outcomes are consistently above national averages, and A-Level Mathematics enjoys healthy uptake each year. The department prides itself on delivering a clear, coherent curriculum that balances conceptual understanding with procedural fluency.

The Role

You will teach Mathematics across Key Stages 3 and 4, with the opportunity to contribute to A-Level teaching depending on experience. The curriculum is carefully sequenced to ensure secure foundations in algebra, number and geometry, with increasing emphasis on problem-solving and mathematical reasoning.

The department operates with clarity and consistency. Teachers benefit from:

• Shared schemes of work and lesson resources

• Common assessment materials and standardised marking approaches

• Structured retrieval practice embedded across year groups

• Dedicated time for collaborative planning

There is a strong focus on modelling, worked examples and explicit teaching of exam technique to build student confidence.

The Department & Facilities

The Maths department is located within a modern teaching block, creating a strong sense of team identity. Classrooms are well-equipped with interactive screens and visualisers, supporting live modelling and explanation.

The department meets regularly to review outcomes, moderate assessments and refine curriculum sequencing. There is an experienced Head of Department who prioritises staff development, mentoring and realistic workload expectations.

Students benefit from additional intervention sessions, problem-solving clubs and participation in national mathematics competitions.

The School

This Nottingham secondary school serves a diverse community and has seen steady academic improvement in recent years. Behaviour systems are clear and consistently applied, allowing lessons to run smoothly and teachers to focus on high-quality instruction.

Leadership is visible and pragmatic. Data collection is purposeful rather than excessive, and policies are designed to support staff rather than burden them.

Facilities include a modern Sixth Form centre, well-maintained teaching spaces and strong pastoral support structures. Staff retention is good, and teachers often describe the culture as professional and collaborative.

What You’ll Bring

• QTS or equivalent qualification in Mathematics

• Secure subject knowledge across KS3 and KS4

• Confidence in teaching algebra, reasoning and exam preparation

• High expectations for behaviour and presentation

• A collaborative and reflective approach

Why Join?

• Strong GCSE and A-Level results

• Structured curriculum and shared resources

• Supportive departmental leadership

• Clear behaviour systems

• Ongoing CPD and opportunities for progression

This is an excellent opportunity for a Mathematics teacher seeking a stable, academically ambitious and well-led environment in which to develop their practice.
