At The Winston Churchill School, we believe that the way students learn maths shapes their future. Through our enquiry-based approach to teaching, our mathematicians are learning to be lifelong problem solvers. We are shaping innovative thinkers who can tackle any problem they face with determination and ingenuity.

Do you have the creativity, imagination and passion to inspire our students?

We empower our teachers as trusted professionals. You can be yourself, learn, and develop your unique teaching practice.

Do you aspire to lead a team of trusted, creative, and innovative professionals?

We take pride in our record of developing exceptional teachers and leaders.

Furthermore, nine middle leaders have successfully transitioned to senior leadership roles.

Do you want to lead and grow a dynamic team while advancing your own leadership journey?
