We are a values-based community that focuses on the learning of all students and staff, that cares deeply for our young people and each other and that is committed to co-curricular enrichment. Our stated goal is to be a +1 school for progress and as such, we are looking for a highly motivated, professional and well-qualified teacher and future leader to join us in our mission. This is a unique opportunity to join a first-class Mathematics department that achieves outstanding results for our young people and is a flagship department of the Academy.

Note: we are also advertising for Head of Computing (0.6) and Teacher of Business Studies (0.3).
