However, candidates will be expected to have a high level of proficiency in written and spoken English and at least two years’ recent and relevant maths (teaching or support) experience in an educational setting.

Applicants who do not fulfil all the requirements above may be considered for 'special entry' if they can demonstrate other relevant academic and/or professional experience.
