Brighton College is seeking to appoint a full-time Teacher of Mathematics, starting January 2027. We would also consider applicants who are available to start earlier, or April 2027.
The Department
Mathematics is one of the most popular and successful academic subjects at Brighton. We have over 200 pupils, close to 80% of the year group, studying maths in each of Years 12 and 13, with close to half of those also opting for further maths. Whilst a core subject in Year 11, we also have 40-50% of the cohort taking the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths.
The results in recent years have been excellent, with the pupils regularly achieving 100% 9-6 at IGCSE with more grade 9s counting for more than 60% of all grades. At A-level, 98%+ achieved A*-B in both single and further maths in the past few years, with well over 50% of all grades being A*. The department has a comprehensive Oxbridge programme, with much success in this area.
Recent years have seen record numbers of pupils achieving Gold Awards at all levels of the UKMT Maths Challenges, as well as reaching and succeeding in follow-on rounds such as the BMO, reflecting the emphasis on extension and enrichment within the department.
The department consists of 23 members of staff from various backgrounds, ranging from recent graduates to those with over two decades of experience. The common denominator being a love of mathematics and the ability to pass that joy on to the pupils. Each member of the department is expected to be a reflective and forward-looking practitioner; being an excellent teacher of mathematics is our number one priority.
The department is housed in a modern, purpose built teaching block, which has enabled the development of innovative teaching practices. The department has also been at the forefront of the school’s development in the use of technology as a teaching and learning aid.
Role Specification
The successful candidate will be expected to be able to teach maths across the curriculum, from Year 7 to A-level. They will be eager to contribute to the department's programme of activities, which encompasses extension for eager pupils of all ages as well as support for those finding the subject more challenging.
We want learners who are curious about mathematics, and who love their time in the classroom; this only happens with teachers who are themselves curious and always looking to learn, improve and develop their own mathematics and classroom practice.
