The Headteacher and Trustees wish to appoint a Teacher of Mathematics to cover a period of maternity leave from 1 September 2026.
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.

We are very much a family and a team at NGHS; our colleagues work exceptionally hard to help each student to achieve their potential and they also support each other. We take staff well-being extremely seriously and our Well-being Charter is included in our recruitment pack to show you what we do.
Our trustee board is incredibly supportive and experienced. Their drive and ambition for the school keeps us on our toes, but they are passionate about enhancing opportunities for all students. We are heavily oversubscribed and hold an annual entrance test. We have, on average, 120 girls in each year group. The sixth form is also oversubscribed, and we take students from a number of 11-16 and 11-18 high schools as well, of course, as our own Year 11s.
Please take time to review our recruitment pack and thank you for considering this opportunity.
