Start Date: September 2026
About this Role
We are an enthusiastic and highly committed team who pride ourselves on the quality of the relationships we have with our students and with each other, and with the quality of teaching and learning that goes on in our classrooms. We work closely with our colleagues across Education South West sharing our curriculum, resources and expertise.
At GCSE, students follow the Edexcel course. A large majority of the students take the Higher Paper. There are excellent levels of success – in 2025, 77% of Year 11 achieved a Grade 4 and above in maths, with 60% achieving Grade 5 and above. This has continued to build on our history of outstanding outcomes in maths for our students. Uptake at A Level is very strong in A Level maths (AQA), and Further maths (AQA) and we also have students studying for Level 3 Core maths in Year 12. Success levels within our Post 16 provision are exceptional – in 2025 76% of A Level maths students achieved A*-B and 100% of Further Maths A Level Students. Large numbers of students go on to study maths related subjects after leaving.
The department has developed into a cohesive team as we continue to develop our expertise within the new qualifications and the ongoing re-shaping of the curriculum to meet the needs of learners at Key Stages 3-5, supporting each other along this process. There are plenty of opportunities for you to collaborate as part of the wider teaching team across the College and with other ESW subject staff in supporting our aspiration to ensure that every child achieves outstanding outcomes.
