We welcome applications from talented individuals who will dedicate themselves to the implementation of the school and department’s vision and the continued development of the maths department. 

This role is suitable for either an Early Career Teacher (ECT) or somebody already teaching but ambitious to develop their career further.

The maths department is comprised of eight teachers, located together in adjacent rooms in our new school building. Virtually all students undertake higher level GCSE, with nearly 100 students studying maths at A Level, alongside smaller numbers in further maths and AS Level core maths.

Many students leave us to undertake maths related courses at university, with a consistently high number progressing to Oxbridge, Russell Group and other top-20 universities.

Our school places the same importance on academic excellence as it does on mental wellbeing and the development of non-examined skills. Teachers are given the opportunity to develop and lead research opportunities; previous and current projects have been/are supported by the likes of the Royal Society, major pharmaceutical companies and universities. These projects feed into the rich and varied offer delivered through the Langton Extended Curriculum, working to ensure that we help shape ambitious, confident, independent and creative students, ready to take their place in society.
