This is an exciting opportunity to teach Mathematics in a temporary capacity at one of the country’s top-performing grammar schools, starting in September 2026. The vacancy has arisen due to a member of the department currently being on maternity leave with their anticipated return at the end of the Autumn Term. We are seeking a passionate and committed teacher to inspire our students and contribute to our thriving Maths department.

At NGHS, Mathematics is a highly valued and popular subject, with excellent uptake at GCSE and A-Level. Our students are enthusiastic, intellectually curious, and eager to be challenged. We are looking for a teacher who shares our commitment to academic excellence and who can foster a love of learning in the classroom. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or an early career teacher, we will support you to thrive and grow professionally.

NGHS is a truly special place to work. Our staff are collaborative, dedicated, and deeply committed to the success and wellbeing of every student. We pride ourselves on our strong sense of community and our culture of mutual support. Staff wellbeing is a priority, and our Wellbeing Charter, included in this pack, outlines the many ways in which we support our team. We are proud to be an outstanding girls’ grammar school, as confirmed by Ofsted in November 2022, where we were judged outstanding in every category. NGHS was recently ranked #1 in Shropshire and #65 nationally in the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2025.

We have also received national recognition for our work in Mental Health, Holocaust Education, and Kindness, including the Be Kind Award and the AcSEED Award. Our Trustee Board is highly experienced and ambitious for the school. Their support has enabled us to expand our student intake while maintaining our high standards. NGHS remains heavily oversubscribed, with a thriving Sixth Form that welcomes students from across the region.

We warmly encourage prospective applicants to arrange a visit to the school to experience our ethos and environment first-hand. Please contact us via jobs@nghs.org.uk or call 01952 797550 to arrange a suitable time.

We appreciate the time and thought that goes into every application and look forward to receiving yours by the stated deadline. Please contact us here at school if you require the application form in a different format.
