Are you an Early Career Teacher looking to begin your career in a school where maths is thriving, and where you will be supported to become an outstanding teacher?
Notley High School and Sixth Form has improved rapidly and is now oversubscribed. In May 2026 Ofsted judged us Strong for Inclusion and for Leadership and Governance, with Expected Standard across all other areas.
“Pupils at Notley High School are united in their view that their school has improved significantly in recent years.” Ofsted, May 2026
Maths at Notley
Our students are rising to real challenge. This year our sixth formers took on the UK Senior Mathematical Challenge, a demanding national paper of problem-solving and reasoning sat by tens of thousands of students. Only around a third of entrants receive a certificate, and Gold goes to roughly the top 10% nationally.
Our students achieved 2 Gold, 4 Silver and 7 Bronze certificates, and our two Gold winners now progress to the next round. You will join a department that is ambitious for every student, from those securing their grade 4 and 5 to those competing nationally.
Your team
You will join a friendly, collaborative maths team where colleagues plan together, share ideas and look out for one another. Our Head of Department is an experienced leader and a member of the Senior Leadership Team, so maths has a strong voice in the school and you will be well supported from day one.
