Teacher of Mathematics

The North East’s leading independent girls’ day school has an exciting opportunity to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic and motivated Teacher of Mathematics. 

We want our teaching staff to have high expectations of children and young people, including a commitment to ensuring that they can achieve their full educational potential and to establishing fair, respectful, trusting, supportive and constructive relationships with them. The successful candidate should have a secure knowledge and understanding of Mathematics and related pedagogy, including the contribution that Mathematics can make to cross-curricular learning and recent relevant developments. The ability to teach A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics would be an advantage but is not essential. 

About the Mathematics Department

The Mathematics Department is made up of a friendly team of specialised teachers, who are passionate about motivating and inspiring high aspirations in all our pupils. We are committed to providing a curriculum that is highly engaging and that inspires a love of Mathematics in our pupils, which helps equip all our pupils with the mathematical confidence, skills and competencies needed for their futures beyond school. We have exceptional, state-of-the-art teaching facilities and a passion and commitment to develop STEM-related opportunities for all our pupils both internally and through our higher educational partners and industry links. We offer a wide range of activities and opportunities to further support the curriculum, including clubs and competitions and, through our membership of the wider Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) family of schools, an unrivalled host of further opportunities for our pupils and our staff.
