Job overview
If you have excellent knowledge and understanding of Mathematics, a desire to share your passion for the subject and an interest in securing high quality professional development in an innovative and energetic department, then Ranelagh School is looking for you.
From September 2015, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and effective Teacher of Mathematics, able to teach to GCSE (and Advanced Level if possible).

In 2014 96% of our students at key stage 3 achieved Level 5 and above, 91% achieved GCSE A*-C grades, and at A Level 83% achieved grades A*-C.
Ranelagh is an 11-18 coeducational, Anglican Academy (converter) which is oversubscribed and has a reputation for academic achievement and positive school ethos.

This post may be suitable for a Newly Qualified Teacher. Potential candidates may also wish to know that our admissions policy enables the school to prioritise the admission of children of staff recruited to posts in which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. All staff employed in the school must be aware that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be undertaken.
