Thomas Gainsborough School is a consistently high performing, well resourced, and truly comprehensive school, with a firm belief in excellence for each and every student, placing students at the heart of their curriculum. 

As a popular and successful school we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, hardworking Teacher of Maths. 

In September 2015 the school moved into an award winning new building, where Maths is taught on a single floor. We also have a separate Sixth Form centre for our thriving Key Stage 5 students.  

The team is experienced, very supportive and expectations for students are high.  

The school continues to invest in high quality professional development and provides a range of employee benefits. We are closely linked to the Unity Research School and lead the way in many local and national initiatives including being an EdTech Demonstrator School and being an ArtsMark platinum school. We provide excellent support care and support for our staff and students. There are Lead Practitioners within Maths to support colleagues in continually improving their practice. 

This is an excellent opportunity for any teacher with a passion for Maths to develop their teaching and continue their career progression. 

The school is located just south of Sudbury in Suffolk and is within easy reach of Colchester, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. 

We are looking for someone who: 

  • Has experience of teaching Maths at Key Stages 3 to 5 
  • Is committed to high standards and ensuring that all groups of students make progress 
  • Is willing to work flexibly 
  • Has excellent interpersonal and communication skills 
  • Is able to solve problems and be proactive 
  • Has an excellent sense of humour 

If you would like to visit the school in preparation for making an application, or would like to speak to someone about this exciting opportunity, then please contact Mrs K Fuller (Headteacher’s PA), kfuller@tgschool.net, 01787 375232. You can find out more about this vacancy and our thriving community at www.tgschool.net 

During this period of on site support for children of key workers we are still open and staff will be available to speak to you. The interview process will be well supported to be personal, fair and flexible and is likely to be conducted on site in line with our current risk assessment.
