Maths Teacher - Outstanding School - Croydon (September Start)

Are you a dedicated and ambitious Maths Teacher who wants to join a high-performing school where students are encouraged to develop confidence and achieve highly in Mathematics? An Outstanding School in Croydon is looking for a committed Maths Teacher to join its established Mathematics department from September.

• Maths Teacher Role

• Teaching Mathematics across KS3 and KS4, with KS5 available

• Croydon

• MPS1 – UPS3 Inner London Salary

• Full-time, Permanent Maths Teacher

• September Start

This is an excellent opportunity for a Maths Teacher who wants to work in a structured and supportive department with high expectations for student progress.

You will teach Mathematics across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, helping students develop secure mathematical foundations before progressing towards GCSE. There may also be opportunities to teach A-Level Mathematics for candidates with suitable experience and subject knowledge.

The successful teacher will need to be confident teaching students across a range of abilities. You will be expected to challenge high-performing students while providing clear explanations and appropriate support for students who find aspects of Mathematics more difficult.

The department has a clear focus on developing mathematical understanding rather than simply teaching students how to follow procedures.

Maths Teacher - School Information

The school is an Outstanding School in Croydon with high expectations for academic achievement, behaviour and personal development.

The school provides a structured and purposeful learning environment where students are encouraged to work hard and take pride in their progress.

Mathematics is a central part of the curriculum and the department is committed to ensuring students develop the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed at GCSE and beyond.

The school benefits from a collaborative teaching culture. Staff work together on curriculum planning, assessment and intervention, while experienced teachers provide support to colleagues at earlier stages of their careers.

Students are encouraged to become increasingly independent mathematicians who can apply their knowledge to unfamiliar problems.

Maths Teacher - The Role

You will be responsible for:

• Planning and delivering high-quality Mathematics lessons

• Teaching Maths across KS3 and KS4

• Preparing students for GCSE Mathematics

• Teaching KS5 Mathematics where appropriate

• Developing students' mathematical fluency

• Building confidence with problem-solving

• Developing reasoning and mathematical communication

• Challenging high-achieving students

• Supporting students who require additional intervention

• Differentiating lessons appropriately

• Using assessment effectively

• Marking and providing constructive feedback

• Tracking student progress

• Identifying gaps in knowledge

• Supporting intervention and revision

• Contributing to departmental planning

• Sharing resources and teaching strategies

• Maintaining high expectations of behaviour

• Participating in parents' evenings

• Supporting extracurricular Mathematics opportunities

• Contributing to wider school activities

You will need to be able to explain mathematical concepts clearly and break down challenging problems into manageable stages without lowering expectations.

Maths Teacher - Curriculum

The department follows a carefully structured curriculum designed to build students' knowledge progressively.

At KS3, you will help students develop secure foundations in areas including number, algebra, geometry, statistics and ratio.

At KS4, you will prepare students for the demands of GCSE Mathematics, ensuring they can apply their knowledge to increasingly complex and unfamiliar questions.

Where appropriate, KS5 teaching may include A-Level Mathematics and potentially Further Mathematics.

The successful candidate should therefore have strong mathematical knowledge and be comfortable teaching beyond GCSE if required.

Maths Teacher - Teaching and Learning

The school is looking for a teacher who can make Mathematics accessible without making it simplistic.

Lessons should encourage students to explain their reasoning, identify errors and consider different approaches to solving problems.

You will need to use questioning effectively and check understanding regularly.

The successful teacher will also understand that students can make mistakes as part of the learning process and should create a classroom environment where students are willing to attempt challenging problems.

Assessment will be used to identify gaps and inform future teaching rather than simply record grades.

Maths Teacher - Experience and Qualifications

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• A degree in Mathematics or a closely related subject

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

• Experience teaching Mathematics at secondary level

• Strong KS3 and KS4 subject knowledge

• GCSE Mathematics teaching experience

• A-Level Mathematics experience desirable

• Excellent classroom management

• Strong assessment skills

• Ability to differentiate effectively

• Excellent communication

• Good organisational skills

• Ability to motivate students

• Commitment to high academic standards

• A genuine enthusiasm for Mathematics

ECTs with strong mathematical knowledge and appropriate teaching experience are welcome to apply.

Professional Development

The school provides a supportive environment for teachers to develop professionally.

You will have opportunities to work alongside experienced Mathematics teachers, participate in CPD and contribute to curriculum development.

The department encourages colleagues to share ideas and continually review the effectiveness of their teaching.

For an ambitious Maths Teacher, there may also be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities within the department as your career develops.

Salary

The salary for this Maths Teacher position will be paid to scale on a contract to scale MPS/UPS Inner London, depending on experience.
