Southampton Secondary Academy – January 2026 Start

Teaching Personnel is pleased to work with a vibrant, inclusive secondary academy in Southampton to recruit an energetic and committed Maths Teacher on a full-time, permanent basis, beginning in September 2025.

About the School

• The school is a mixed 11–16 academy serving around 900 students.
• The academy is part of a trust that aims to provide “exceptional education at the heart of the community.”
• Inclusivity is central — the school welcomes pupils from all backgrounds and abilities, placing emphasis on equality, support, and a broad and balanced curriculum.
• Their most recent inspection (April 2024) judged the academy “Good” in all areas. Inspectors noted that pupils make good progress, produce high-quality work, and that students with SEND are very well supported.
• The school promotes strong values of being proud, kind, and determined — pupils reflect these values in their behaviour, attitude and work ethic.

About the Role

• Plan, prepare and deliver engaging and challenging lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4, following the national curriculum.
• Support students in achieving strong outcomes in GCSE Mathematics through effective teaching, formative and summative assessment, and targeted feedback.

• Work collaboratively within an established maths department — sharing planning, resources, and best practice to sustain high standards.
• Participate in additional support and enrichment: tutoring, intervention sessions, maths clubs, revision workshops or other extra-curricular numeracy activities.
• Promote inclusion: adapt teaching to meet the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND or from diverse backgrounds.
