Small classes, genuinely excellent behaviour, freedom to be inspirational with your own ideas and make a difference so what’s the catch? There isn’t one! If you are an inspiring, committed teacher of Mathematics who wants a different teaching job in an independent school where pupils are inspired to learn, we want to hear from you!

At Thames we have a forwardthinking approach to teaching Mathematics. We use a linear approach, using problem solving and drawing on best practice in other cultures, in particular Asia. Initial results show that our pupils are able to develop a very high level of mathematical expertise. This position could suit an NQT.

We are a thriving small independent school with high expectations of achievement and behaviour. Our pupils are characterized by their development into vibrant young leaders, hallmarked by their integrity and maturity.

Teaching at Thames is inspiring as small classes enable the development of rapport with pupils as individuals. CPD is excellent and new teachers are supported by participation in NQT and Schools Direct programmes. Established 15 years ago, the school has grown consistently each year and is endorsed in the Good Schools Guide and has won six Good Schools Guide awards. The school is a member of the Independent Schools Association and is inspected by ISI.

The role

Teaching Mathematics across Key Stage 3 and 4 in line with the school’s forwardthinking approach
Assisting to developing the strategic vision for the Mathematics department and the promotion of numeracy across the school
Developing welldifferentiated schemes of learning and resources
Preparing pupils for Mathematics IGCSE and Additional Mathematics FSMQ

The post is open to an excellent teacher who will

Be a graduate with a relevant good honours degree
Have experience of working in either the private or maintained system
Be a creative, inventive and dedicated classroom practitioner with a real passion for your subject
Have an exceptional eye for detail
Respect the school’s aims and values

Excellent career development opportunities exist over the short to medium term as the school grows. Without compromising our ethos of valuing the individual, we are developing plans to have two streams of entry by 2019 or earlier, as well as a sixth form, in new state of the art, purposebuilt premises.
