About the role

We are seeking an exceptional and inspirational Teacher of Mathematics to join our thriving and high-performing Maths department at The Grange School.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to contribute to a subject area that is already delivering excellent outcomes, and to support the ambitious vision for excellence being led by our Head of Maths and wider team.

The Twynham School and TGS federation is now firmly established in Christchurch, with a shared commitment to delivering a truly exceptional educational experience for every young person in our community.

At TGS, we are ambitious for both academic outcomes and personal development. We believe that character, confidence, and curiosity are just as important as exam results, and we are building a culture where students are challenged, supported, and inspired to thrive.

Joining our staff team means becoming part of a collaborative, forward-thinking federation working across two schools and two distinct contexts. This offers unrivalled opportunities for professional growth, innovation, and impact - ideal for an aspirational colleague who wants to make a real difference.

We are looking for an outstanding individual who will relish the opportunity to:

• Teach Maths within a high-performing and well-established department
• Deliver exceptional extra-curricular opportunities within and beyond Mathematics
• Further contribute to our vision for education across the town of Christchurch
• Promote and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in accordance with our Safeguarding and Child Protection policies.

What we can offer you

• The chance to be a part of an exciting educational journey
• The opportunity to work with exceptional colleagues and wonderful young people and their families
• An exceptional CPD offer from teacher training and the ECT framework through to preparation for senior and system leadership
• Strong, supportive and highly visible leadership
• Free, confidential access to our Employee Assistance Programme, which offers a range of counselling services plus financial, legal and practical support from qualified professionals on a range of personal issues and access to online health and wellbeing resources
• A trust-wide intranet, where we share our news, information and resources
• Local discounts negotiated on behalf of our staff e.g. gym memberships, hair and beauty salons, chiropractic care, cycle shops, restaurants, motoring services, and retail/DIY stores
• A welcoming staff room with complimentary tea and coffee available throughout the day
• Automatic membership of the Teachers Pension Scheme
• The opportunity to work within Twynham Learning; a progressive multi-academy trust
• The opportunity to work in one of the most beautiful areas of the South Coast

Who we are looking for

We would love to hear from you if you:

• Are an inspirational and skilled teacher of Mathematics
• Are committed to improving pedagogical practices using evidence-informed approaches
• Are committed to the power of extra-curricular opportunities in engaging students
• Are aspirational for career development and eager to seize additional career progression opportunities
• Are driven by the power of education to transform the lives of the most disadvantaged students

You will also be keen to live our Twynham Learning employee values which are:

• Aim high
• Keep improving
• Don\'t leave anyone behind
• See the bigger picture
