There are some schools where the work simply feels more purposeful. A secondary school in Chertsey is looking for a Maths Teacher who wants to make a real difference in a community that values consistency, kindness and high quality teaching.

This is a school where students respond well to structure, where colleagues look out for one another and where the maths department has built a calm, steady rhythm that helps learners grow in confidence. If you enjoy clear routines, thoughtful planning and the sense of shared endeavour that comes from a strong team, this role will feel like the right fit.

You will teach Maths across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, helping students build a secure understanding of number, algebra, reasoning and problem solving. Lessons are planned with clarity and purpose, and there is a real emphasis on modelling, explanation and practice. The department works collaboratively, sharing resources and taking pride in the small breakthroughs that often matter most.

• A commitment to helping students overcome barriers and believe in their ability
• Strong subject knowledge and confidence in explaining mathematical ideas clearly
• A calm, steady presence in the classroom
• A reflective approach to planning and assessment
• A willingness to contribute to the department’s collective strength
• The desire to make your teaching feel meaningful day to day

Whether you are an early career teacher or a more experienced practitioner, what matters most is your belief in the power of consistent, well taught mathematics to change how young people see themselves.

This is a school that feels grounded in its community. The behaviour systems are clear and supportive. Staff describe the atmosphere as calm, friendly and purposeful. Leaders believe in creating the conditions for teachers to teach well, and the maths team has a particularly strong sense of identity and shared direction.

You will have colleagues who want you to succeed, students who appreciate clear expectations and a leadership team that values your professionalism.

Chertsey offers riverside walks, green open spaces and a sense of balance that many teachers look for when stepping away from the pressures of larger towns. It is well connected, with easy access to Surrey, London and the wider South East, yet it still feels peaceful, spacious and community focused.
