Do you want to join a strong Mathematics department that achieves above the national average in their results? Are you committed to academic excellence and able to enthuse students in this subject area? If so, we want to hear from you!

The Leigh Academy remains to be one of the highest-achieving state comprehensive schools in England and one of the most over-subscribed schools in Kent. We have a fantastic opportunity to appoint a Teacher of Maths to join us from September 2024 and be part of a team that is truly changing lives and positively transforming the local community. Our successful candidate will quickly become an integral part of our department who have achieved great successes in recent years.

We can be receptive to applications from ECTs who are able to start their employment before the summer break. We also offer a professional development package designed around you within the academy and across the wider Trust.

This is a permanent, full-time opportunity offering a salary of MPS/UPS + London Fringe allowance, commensurate with experience.

Working with us at The Leigh Academy: The Leigh Academy is a secondary school at the heart of the community and our small school model ensures that each and every student gets the personal support and challenge they need to reach their full potential. Overall the academy is a dynamic and exciting place to work and the fantastic leadership team are committed to making it a great place to work for staff at all stages of their career. Our award winning building and facilities are modern, light and airy and the open learning terraces and classrooms built around a daylit winter garden give the academy a unique and special character.

The purpose built academy has the most up-to-date, technologically advanced facilities available. It is divided into four Colleges each containing 400 students aged 11-18 taught by their own staff. Our dedicated and energetic staff make a real difference to the lives of our students. We believe that these smaller schools within the Academy develop deeper relationships and lay stronger foundations for learning which underpin outstanding achievement.

The principles that have taken us on our exciting journey remain: namely, a passion for learning; a commitment to trying new ways to inspire and motivate young minds; and a dedication to helping each student fulfil their potential by encouraging them to explore all that life has to offer. Everyone who visits us is impressed by our students, the working atmosphere, the sheer sense of enjoyment in the learning process and the strong focus on achievement.
