The Opportunity

Bath is a stunning World Heritage city that seamlessly marries its famous Roman and Georgian history with a modern reputation as a leading UK hub for tech innovation, research, and mathematical sciences. We are seeking an intellectually rigorous Mathematics Teacher to join a high-performing comprehensive academy. In this role, you will inspire students to master the universal language of mathematics—from geometric proofs to complex calculus—utilizing the region's strong links to top-tier universities and engineering sectors to nurture the next generation of quantitative thinkers.

The Academy The academy is a highly regarded, forward-thinking secondary school dedicated to driving academic excellence and inclusivity across the region. Known for its strong community ethos, the school blends rigorous behavioural expectations with a highly supportive pastoral network, creating an environment where staff are respected and students are motivated to succeed.

The Department & Quantitative Culture

• You will join a dynamic Mathematics faculty where the subject is celebrated for its exceptional academic standards and immense popularity at Key Stage 5.

• The department fosters a culture of deep mathematical inquiry, prioritizing conceptual understanding and elegant problem-solving proofs over simple formulaic memorization.

• The school provides a stimulating environment equipped with modern digital resources, interactive graphing tools, and collaborative learning spaces.

• We maintain active participation in national mathematical networks, regularly entering students into the UKMT (United Kingdom Mathematics Trust) challenges.

Core Responsibilities

1. Exemplary Instruction: Delivering high-challenge Mathematics lessons across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (GCSE), with significant scope for pure mathematics, mechanics, or statistics instruction at A-Level for suitably qualified candidates.

2. Analytical Inquiry: Cultivating advanced logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, training students to break down complex, multi-step problems with precision and confidence.

3. Fluency & Rigour: Systematically developing students' mathematical fluency, ensuring abstract theories—from geometric proofs to probability matrices—are rendered clear, accessible, and intellectually stimulating.

4. Data-Driven Progress: Utilising the department’s detailed tracking systems to provide granular feedback, ensuring students are flawlessly prepared for the rigorous demands of higher-tier terminal examinations.

5. Enrichment Leadership: Supporting extra-curricular mathematical initiatives, such as cryptography clubs, advanced geometry workshops, or competitive maths teams.

The Successful Candidate We are looking for a subject authority who is passionate about cultivating logical clarity, intellectual resilience, and a genuine love for mathematical patterns. Requirements include:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a strong honours degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a highly quantitative discipline.

• Proven Track Record: Evidence of delivering exceptional learning and progress outcomes at GCSE and A-Level, with a sophisticated understanding of terminal examination assessment objectives.

• Pedagogical Flair: The ability to communicate complex, abstract mathematical concepts with enthusiasm and exceptional clarity, inspiring students of all abilities to achieve their potential.

• Collaborative Spirit: A reflective practitioner eager to contribute to the shared bank of resources, participate in peer-to-peer professional development, and support the holistic growth of the faculty.

Why Join Us?

• The opportunity to teach in a school environment where student motivation is high, academic ambition is celebrated, and professional autonomy is respected.

• Unrivalled professional development pathways, including opportunities for middle leadership mentoring, specialized training in advanced statistical pedagogy, and cross-school collaboration.
