Teacher of Maths in Carlisle

We are seeking to recruit a professional and talented Teacher of Maths. This would be on a permanent basis starting as soon as possible.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a successful, and rapidly developing academy. We are driven by a forward-thinking philosophy and a vibrant, positive culture. In a friendly and welcoming school, with supportive colleagues, you'll be able to make a real impact on our academy, and on the lives of children across the country.

Over the past few years, the Math's Department has gone from strength to strength, maintaining exceptionally high standards, strong consistency in teaching and learning across the team, and some of the best outcomes within both the school and United Learning at GCSE and A-Level. Last summer saw our highest GCSE results to date with 58% of the cohort achieving 5+ and 72% achieving 4+. For the last two years, we have achieved the highest A-Level Mathematics results across United Learning and placed in the top 1% nationally, with 100% of students achieving grades A* to B. These outstanding outcomes reflect the expertise, dedication, and collaborative culture of the department, making this an exciting time to join our school and become part of a thriving and ambitious community.

We are an inclusive employer and are happy to consider flexible working practices, part time or a job share if they will benefit you and the students of the Academy.
