We are seeking an enthusiastic candidate to join the very successful Mathematics Department on a temporary basis to cover Maternity Leave. The school has excellent facilities, is over‑subscribed and is attended by highly motivated students, who achieve excellent results.

The Mathematics Department consists of 12 teachers.

In key stages 3 and 4, we use the White Rose scheme of learning alongside their high‑quality workbooks, aligned with each stage of the curriculum.

Students in key stage 4 study the AQA GCSE specification. The majority of our students are entered for the higher GCSE examination, with only a very small number taking the foundation qualification. Our results at GCSE are consistently strong and the number of students taking A level Mathematics with us has grown significantly in recent years.

In key stage 5, we offer both Maths and Further Maths. Our key stage 5 exam board is Edexcel.

We enjoy a fine reputation for the quality of our pastoral care and extra‑curricular provision and are committed to the professional development of all our staff, as well as innovative teaching and learning strategies.

There is an excellent ECT induction programme in place and Early Career Teachers are welcome to apply in addition to experienced practitioners.

The school is a short walk from Upminster station where Overground and Underground services are available; these connect to central London (Fenchurch Street), Romford and all District Line destinations. The school is also a short drive from the M25, A12 and A13.
