Head of Mathematics

Due to the relocation of our current Head of Department, we are looking to recruit a highly motivated, experienced, creative and innovative Maths leader, to lead our dedicated Maths team from September 2025.

The candidate will have a proven track record of success and be able to demonstrate delivering transformational change in a previous or current role. The ability to teach Maths to A Level is essential and the ability to teach Further Maths at A Level desirable. We welcome applications from creative and dynamic teachers who can contribute to this vision.

The Mathematics Department runs smoothly and our students achieve well. Our core purpose is to enable our learners to achieve their full potential by igniting their curiosity and determination. The Mathematics Department offers a full mathematics curriculum and teachers are expected to be able to teach across Key Stages 3 to 5. Mathematics is our most popular A Level course, with a further cohort of students studying Further Mathematics as an additional A Level. At GCSE, Further Maths and Statistics are popular options for our students. The team has a range of experience within it including Lead Practitioners and ECTs.

We would welcome applicants from current Heads of Department who are looking to develop their Leadership experience in a different context, or from outstanding teachers who are able to demonstrate their readiness for the next stage in their teaching career.

The main campus for TWGSB is in Tunbridge Wells. However, you may be required to work at other campuses connected to TWGSB.

We are currently undergoing a period of transformational change benefiting from a multi-million pound investment in Tunbridge Wells and a brand new building at our Sevenoaks campus, which opened in September 2021. In September 2025 Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys will be one of the largest boys’ grammar schools in the country. Here we all share the same vision: ‘To be the best selective boys’ school in West Kent’ and our journey towards achieving this continues to be an exciting one.

We can offer you the opportunity to work with highly able young people in a supportive, well-equipped and forward-thinking school. We offer a friendly and inclusive working environment and the chance to be part of a fantastic multidisciplinary team, who work hard and support each other to deliver personalised, bespoke education and care.

Staff benefit from a positive working environment, with strong support for professional development and specialist teaching rooms. We aim for high standards and the pursuit of academic excellence, helping every student to reach their full potential through the development of skills, concepts and knowledge, within the framework of a caring community. Relationships between staff and students are based on trust, mutual respect and a determination to succeed.

Please note that we will only accept CVs that are accompanied by an application form (see below). We shall review applications as we receive them so apply early! We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role.
