We seek an enthusiastic, well-qualified teacher of Mathematics to join our successful Mathematics Department and teach up to A Level.

The Mathematics department is thriving and Mathematics and Further Mathematics are popular choices at A Level.

Chestnut Grove is a high performing, 11-18, multi-cultural school in Balham, South London, with a number of awards for its inclusive approach including UNICEF Gold Status (2022). Our motto is a ‘Creative Learning Community’, demonstrating a commitment to providing our students with an innovative and exciting curriculum.

Why Chestnut Grove?

 Our staff’s well-being and morale is of the utmost importance to us. We offer a comprehensive professional development programme, through the Wandle Learning Partnership which enables staff to progress professionally; many middle and senior leaders started at the school as (NQTs) ECTs.  We also have ties with first-class external providers and speakers (Equaliteach, Football Beyond Borders, Imperial College, Craig Barton, Teacher Development Trust, UCL, to name but a few recent liaisons).

 We promote workload reduction strategies, Diversity, Inclusion and Equality, staff autonomy and Support Staff Council (to ensure our support staff’s needs are heard and met).

 We offer a broad Wellbeing Program, which includes:

• Annual 'Wellbeing Day': a whole day of pampering with yoga, martial arts, art therapy, stress reduction, meditation workshops and pastoral CPD
• Weekly yoga sessions
• Weekly staff fitness & dance session.
• Regular staff football, badminton and other sports staff elect to do

In 2019 we were awarded the Platinum Quality Mark for Professional Development and we also received the Healthy Workplace Achievement award from the Mayor of London.

 The Wandle Learning Trust values the diversity of our students and is proud to inspire them through representative teaching and support staff. We aim to select all staff on merit, irrespective of race, sex, disability, age, gender reassignment, sexuality or other protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010

This post is suitable for an ECT for whom excellent support would be available. As the lead partner in the Wandle Learning Partnership we are able to offer exceptional opportunities for professional development.

all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
