We are seeking a dedicated and passionate Teacher of Maths to join our highly ambitious and supportive team. This is to inspire and challenge students across Key Stages 3 and 4, fostering a love for mathematics and ensuring excellent progress for all learners. 

Uplands Academy is based in Wadhurst, East Sussex, an area of outstanding natural beauty and is close to Royal Tunbridge Wells.  Staff from places such as Brighton, Hastings, Eastbourne and Lewes.  Uplands Academy has approximately 800 students across years 7-13.  Please note, our sixth form will be closing from July 2025.  

In September 2022, Beacon Academy, together with Uplands Academy in Wadhurst, became a member of the MARK Education Trust (formally Beacon Community College Academy Trust). The acronym, MARK, was selected because staff who work in the Trust are motivated, ambitious, resourceful, and knowledgeable. This partnership will provide many exciting opportunities for professional development, and the sharing of good practice across the two schools. 

Our staff have high expectations, are ambitious for our students, and they know them well.  We pride ourselves on our rigorous focus on the child as a unique individual, including our most disadvantaged and those with SEND.  We ensure that the lessons our students receive are effectively adapted and inclusive, enabling them to be actively engaged in their learning.  We want our children to be happy, successful, and confident by providing the best possible education for all our students.  We want to be an exceptional educational establishment for our community. At Uplands Academy, we are proud of the excellent relationships between our staff and our students. 

We work meticulously to secure a culture of unapologetically high expectations that are underpinned by our collective, uncompromising belief and ambition for our students, and for the experienced, loyal, highly skilled and highly-effective team of staff that teach them, allowing teachers to teach and students to learn. MARK Education Trust is committed to the development of both its staff and students. 

The deadline for applications is 10am Wednesday 14th May 2025
