Prep School Mathematics Coordinator (teacher)

Portsmouth High School has a vacancy for a teacher and mathematics specialist to become our subject coordinator at our beautiful and thriving Prep school. The teacher will lead the mathematics curriculum across Key Stages 1 and 2 and facilitate in each pupil the recognition, development and fulfilment of her academic potential.

The successful candidate will contribute to providing an excellent education for pupils by teaching with expertise and enthusiasm, offering support to the learning of individual students and contributing to the school’s academic and pastoral system.

The Prep school is a school where intellectual curiosity is developed and where girls enjoy learning through a range of opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Staff use their considerable expertise to ensure that girls become explorers using thinking skills that apply across the curriculum and beyond into sport, music and drama.

Portsmouth High School has been educating girls since 1882. The school is located in Southsea, an attractive region on the south coast with excellent transport links. The area has retained much of its original Georgian character; notably, two of the school buildings were designed by architect Thomas Ellis Owen who was instrumental in shaping development of the local area.

We are a welcoming and caring community, committed to staff well-being. The school offers a range of career opportunities both internally and more widely throughout the GDST network.
