We are incredibly proud of the exceptional success pupils enjoy when studying maths at Kings Priory School. At GCSE, 94% of pupils achieved a 4+ in maths in 2023 and this high level has been sustained for many years. We also have a large number of A-Level mathematicians, as well as a strong cohort of Further mathematicians. As a result of these successes, we are seeking to expand our team of mathematicians so that we can continue to meet this high demand for the subject.

We are looking for an outstanding teacher to work alongside our hardworking, talented and dedicated team, to teach mathematics across the full ability range at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. The ability to teach A level Maths would be essential for this role, and Further Maths would be highly desirable as we develop our future provision. The successful candidate will have excellent subject knowledge and a willingness to participate in the wider life of the school, in all of its forms.

We welcome applications from colleagues at all stages of their career, confident that our school will provide a supportive environment where learners want to learn and relationships between staff and pupils are second to none. If you are an outstanding teacher with the ability to inspire, motivate, challenge and support pupils to ensure they make exceptional progress, we would love to hear from you.
