Thomas Gainsborough School is a consistently high performing, well resourced, and truly comprehensive school, with a firm belief in excellence for each and every student, placing students at the heart of their curriculum.
As a popular and successful school we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, hardworking Teacher of Maths.

We provide excellent support care and support for our staff and students. There are Lead Practitioners within Maths to support colleagues in continually improving their practice.
This is an excellent opportunity for any teacher with a passion for Maths to develop their teaching and continue their career progression.
The school is located just south of Sudbury in Suffolk and is within easy reach of Colchester, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.
