We are looking for a positive and skilled Teacher of Maths to deliver the highest level of teaching & learning for our aspirational students. Excellent subject knowledge and the ability to motivate students through inspirational, personalised teaching is essential. This is an excellent opportunity for a talented teacher to join a thriving school and work with students who are committed to their learning and passionate about their development. 

The outcomes in Maths are excellent and demonstrate the success and engagement across KS4 and KS5. A small cohort of students take Further Maths at A Level each year and Core Maths is offered to students in Year 12 who wish to take a further qualification in Maths but do not pursue it as one of their chosen A Levels.

The opportunity for personal development and progression at Arden is enormous.  An active commitment to staff development through a strong and consistent focus and dialogue around teaching & learning pedagogy makes this an ideal position for candidates committed to being the best practitioner they can be.

The successful applicant should be able to teach to GCSE.  Applications are welcomed from ECTs and experienced practitioners.  Outstanding support is provided for ECTs through our very supportive and structured ECT programme.  Our highly valued ECT programme is delivered both at school and Trust level, providing the opportunity to meet and share experiences with ECTs across the Trust as well as maximising skills and experience in delivery from across all of our schools.

In every way the Maths Department mirrors the aims and beliefs of the school.  All staff work hard, supported by a committed leadership team, to provide a safe and encouraging environment for learning.  Arden students love to acquire new knowledge and skills.  Our teachers relish the opportunity to deliver engaging, challenging lessons to committed students, supported by caring families.

The department currently has thirteen full time and two part-time members of staff.  It has a wealth of experienced teachers who all work well together. The department collectively provide an excellent level of support and collaborative development through sharing of best practice and an open-door culture.

The school has an excellent record of success at GCSE and A Level:
