Are you an outstanding Maths practitioner and leader who is able to challenge the most-able students, support less confident learners and make learning inclusive and accessible to all? We are looking for an ambitious Head of Department who is innovative, creative, and ready to lead a highly successful, and well-established department.
The new leader must be able to promote an inclusive approach that raises aspirations and ambition of all young people. This unique opportunity offers the right candidate the chance to play a wide-ranging and integral role in a successful department at Falmouth School and across The Roseland Multi-Academy Trust. As a leader you will be highly skilled at managing and developing your team and ensure the department contributes to the overall success of the school.
All Falmouth School staff recently contributed to defining their staff cultures. We all subscribe to these cultures and we expect that any new member of staff would do too. The Falmouth School staff cultures are;

o I enjoy working at Falmouth and want to contribute towards its growth;
o I show empathy and consider the impact of my actions on everyone in our community;
o I am a team player and value the positive contribution made by every member of Team Falmouth;
o I am kind, open and considerate and value this from others;
o I am resilient and open to new ways of working to solve problems;
o I value everyone's contribution and believe that when we work together we will do our best;
o I set myself high standards and enjoy celebrating when others succeed;
o I act with integrity and honesty and aim to be a role model to students and staff;
o I promote a learning environment where everyone feels happy, safe and secure;
o I reflect on my practice and know it’s OK to ask for guidance;
o I love what I do and I am passionate about enriching the lives of young people.
If our ethos and cultures appeal to you and you can inspire our students and fellow colleagues, we look forward to receiving your application for this post. Our Ofsted inspection in 2019 does not reflect our current school or our rapid improvement journey. Our school has an inclusive environment where everyone feels able to participate and achieve their potential. We believe we can offer you a unique opportunity to be a key member of staff in a forward-looking, ever-improving school with a happy and supportive working environment.
