Graduate Teacher of Mathematics

Eton College has an exciting opportunity for six Graduate Teachers to join the College on a two- year fixed term contract starting in September 2027.

There are six places each year and subject availability varies. This year, we are able to support Graduate Teachers in the following departments:
Chemistry, Computer Science, Design, Divinity, English, Geography, Mathematics and Physics.

If you have a genuine passion for Mathematics, and the desire to explore the teaching of Mathematics then you will find friendly, like-minded people who are happy to assist in your development.

We are a large and lively department of 25 full-time teachers with a collegiate, open-door culture with regular sharing of ideas, enthusiasm and expertise. There is ample opportunity to teach pupils of a wide range of abilities.

As a Graduate Teacher, you would have the opportunity to develop on both a pedagogical level but also mathematical; the chance to observe a range of approaches to teaching from colleagues, and to use a range of resources.

We are embracing innovations in teaching and learning, particularly developing the use of technology in the classroom; it would be beneficial for candidates to embrace this technologically fluid approach to teaching and learning.

We are continuing to build a culture of mutual observation and sharing of best practice; open door days enable high frequency, low-stakes opportunities to see some of the wonderful teaching that goes on in New Schools.

We cover all ranges across the mathematical spectrum: pure maths, applied maths (primarily statistics and mechanics), maths & philosophy.

About 260 pupils study Mathematics in each of years 9, 10 and 11. Roughly 120 will go on to study Single Mathematics in the lower sixth, alongside 60 further mathematicians. We follow the Edexcel IGCSE specification in year 11 and the OCR specification (A) to A level for both Further and Single Mathematics. In 2019 pupils achieved 81% grade 9-8 at IGCSE, 73% A*-A in A Level single Mathematics & 90% A*-A in further mathematics.

About half a dozen pupils apply to read Mathematics at university each year.

Classroom learning is enhanced by participation in lively Mathematical societies and Olympiad competitions and a culture that promotes independent study and investigation beyond the syllabus. The department contributes significantly to our Partnership programme through well-established pupil mentoring projects.

The depth of experience and expertise within our Mathematics department means that we are well equipped and excited to be developing and supporting recent graduates into the profession.

Eton is committed to the development of excellent teachers. Our Graduate Teacher Programme provides the opportunity for six graduates each year to begin their professional journey in teaching by immersing themselves in a full-boarding environment for two years. The programme offers structured, wide-ranging and personalised training, development and mentorship. It embodies Eton’s holistic vision of education, providing extensive experience and skills development within the three intersecting spheres of school life: academic, pastoral and co-curricular

Across the two years of the programme our Graduate Teachers will build the foundations for a successful and fulfilling career in teaching.

Year 1 will follow an in-house Foundations programme, run by the Teaching and Learning team at our Centre for Innovation and Research in Learning (CIRL).
Year 2 will provide graduate teachers with a PGCE and QTS, through our partnership with the National Institute for Teaching and Education (NITE) and the University of Coventry, enabling them to teach in both the state and private  addition to the above, in order to enrol on the QTS Apprenticeship Route with PGCE, you will need to demonstrate that you hold the right to work and study in the UK and have been normally resident in the UK/EEA for the last three years.
