Head of Maths

Cheltenham

Start date: September 2024

An outstanding opportunity has arisen to work in Gloucestershire’s largest comprehensive school within our excellent Maths department.

We are an established 11-18 single academy trust with a good reputation (Ofsted ‘Good’ rating October 2022), wide catchment, and a strong presence in our community. Our school is consistently oversubscribed with a PAN of 300, and most of our students choose to stay with us for their post-16 study.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Head of Maths to lead a lively and enthusiastic Maths department based in a £2 million building at Cheltenham Bournside School, where Maths is a very popular subject.

The Maths team is very strong and supportive. To lead our team, we are looking for an excellent classroom practitioner who has experience of teaching across all three key stages, has a genuine love of mathematics, and who is able to inspire our team and lead them forward. Ideally you will have experience of leading a Maths department within a school already.

You will be joining a Maths department consisting of 3 key stage leads and 12 teachers. The department occupies a central place in the academic life of the School with the teaching of Maths grounded in supporting students to acquire a deep understanding of mathematical concepts which they can then apply in a range of situations. The curriculum is carefully planned to support and extend the acquisition of knowledge and understanding. Details of the student learning journey can be found here in our Curriculum Map document.

A balanced Maths program, incorporating most of the features of the National Curriculum, is taught to pupils in Years 7, 8 & 9. Each class has one or two Maths teachers. In Year 10, students start their GCSE Edexcel syllabus course. A large number of students go on to study Maths and Further Maths at A Level. Post-18 the numbers that choose Maths courses at university are in stark contrast to national norms. Progress of students is well above the national average at GCSE and typically in the top 25% of the country at A Level.

Teachers at Bournside are free to teach: we do not have a prescribed teaching style or format but we do have clear and effective systems for managing behaviour which ensure virtually no disruption to lessons.

We are an equal opportunities employer and value and respect diversity across our whole school community.

Bournside is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check. We reserve the right to interview and appoint prior to the closing date.
