Head of Faculty - Mathematics job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a colleague to join us as the Head of our Mathematics Faculty.
The Mathematics Faculty consists of many experienced teachers, with the majority of members of the Faculty having been at the school for several years. All members of staff have relevant Maths-based degrees, and all full-time members of staff have some allocation to teach A-level. Mathematics is consistently one of the most chosen subjects at A-level with five classes plus a Further Mathematics class. At GCSE, Statistics is offered in Year 10-11 as an options subject as well as a combined Statistics/Further Mathematics course of which there are currently two full classes. It is essential that candidates have a proven track record of teaching across the A-level course, and it is desired (but not essential) that candidates have experience teaching Further Mathematics A-level. Results at GCSE and A-level are consistently good with limited students entered for foundation (1-4 students per year).
In KS3, we aim to develop students understanding of Mathematics as a language, not just a series of steps to acquire the correct answer. We have a widespread sixth form mentoring scheme which continues to reach record numbers of students each year and we enter all students in Year 7-8 into the Junior Maths Challenge as well as having many students enter and achieve great success at intermediate level and beyond. Several members of staff offer support clubs, or clubs such as puzzle club and chess club which are often very well attended.

We are an oversubscribed mixed selective school serving Bourne, Stamford and Peterborough. Our students are well-behaved and motivated and are taught in modern and well-resourced facilities. The school offers 240 places to students in Year 7 and, with a growing Sixth Form of over 500, has expanded to become one of the largest grammar schools in the country. The vast majority of Year 11 students transfer into our Sixth Form where students are offered a choice of 26 A-Level subjects.
The best atmosphere, the best support, the best results
This is our purpose statement - we have no long or complicated mission statement. The order of the purpose statement is deliberate; we believe that if we get the atmosphere and support right then, given our able students and committed staff, good results will follow. The atmosphere is special and cherished by us all and something that interview candidates often remark upon. We are a large and busy school and our students are well-behaved, motivated and want to be here and their parents/carers want them to be here. Most of the students, most of the time, want to learn and enjoy lessons which are well-taught and engaging.
The teaching staff body numbers around 100 teachers supported by 40 non-teaching colleagues. All teaching staff are subject specialists and are only required to teach their own subject. Staff absence is very low, as is staff turnover. Staff who do leave often do so for promoted posts. All teaching staff at Bourne Grammar School are issued with a laptop and other benefits including no breaktime, lunchtime or bus supervision duties and free on-site parking. Tea and coffee are freely available in our two large staffrooms.
