Job overview
The Role
We are seeking an excellent full-time classroom practitioner to join us in our high achieving and ambitious mathematics department. We are seeking both full time and part time colleagues to teach across Key Stage 3, 4 and 5.
The Department
You would be joining a maths department where students achieve grades that are significantly better than national outcomes. Our Maths progress 8 score was +0.26. The quality of maths teaching and our outcomes were commended in our last Ofsted report.
This post has arisen due to expanding pupil numbers and a member of our team leaving us to travel the world. You will be joining a dedicated team of nine maths specialists, who pride themselves on providing the highest standards of education for our students.
Our School
We are an oversubscribed school located on the beautiful North Cornwall coast. The school was rated ‘Good’ in our last Ofsted (February 2017). We offer an exceptional working and learning environment where kindness, respect, trust and ambition play a central role in our vision.
Our school currently hosts 1129 students with 179 in our sixth form; this makes Budehaven Community School an interesting and dynamic environment for any teacher keen to make their mark in a friendly place of learning.
‘The quality of teaching is at the heart of all development work in the school … the leadership of teaching is clear and effective’ (Ofsted, February 2017).
‘The behaviour of pupils is good. They respect each other and their teachers’ (Ofsted, February 2017).
What we're looking for
We are looking for an NQT or experienced teacher of mathematics. There may be the opportunity to teach A Level maths. If you wish to apply for a part time KS5 teaching post please state this in your application.
The successful candidate will be:
• dedicated to deepening the understanding of mathematics for all students
• tireless in their pursuit of excellence
• keen to collaborate with colleagues to ensure the best possible outcomes for students in the mathematics department.

About Budehaven Community School
Budehaven Community School is located on the beautiful north Cornwall coast in the town of Bude.
We are proud to be a fully comprehensive school, providing education to students from ages 11 to 19.
Our school also benefits from a thriving, successful Sixth Form, an Area Resource Base and an Integrated Health Centre.
Partnerships are really important to Budehaven, and we have many partners, ranging from local primary schools, to secondary schools nationally, and a successful international relationship with Assossa, Ethiopia.
Budehaven Community School is a thriving environment to be part of, and its energy is tangible from the second you walk through the door. As you walk around our school, the energy of the students and staff is infectious. The stunning work of our talented young people is on display around the school and in our stylish Bistro Art Gallery, aside that of local artists for all to appreciate.
We celebrate talent, skill, effort and difference, and the results of this are evident in every part of the school community. Walls of Excellence in classrooms display outstanding student work, the fundraising activities and competitions that take place across our Houses bring out the generosity of all members of our Budehaven family, the national and international sporting competitions that we are so proud of our students for competing within, and the musical talents of our students, ranging from the Jazz Band to the Samba Band further adds to the atmosphere.
We are proud to have been judged to be a GOOD school by Ofsted (February, 2017). Our students achieve well: younger students follow a mastery curriculum that builds on prior knowledge and understanding in a spiral way, linking ideas within and across subjects. As a result, Key Stage 3 prepares them well for the challenges of GCSEs. Our Year 11 students’ GCSE results in 2018 showed a year on year increase in the number of students making good progress, and the percentage of students that achieved a Grade 5 or higher in English and maths was significantly higher than other local schools.
We are incredibly proud of our Sixth Form, which provides a range of A Level and BTec courses that cater for the academic requirements of all members of our school community, leading to them achieving top results. We are also very proud of our Sixth Form students; every year many of them go on to Oxbridge, Russell Group, national and international universities.
Budehaven students and staff are proud of our school and the community it serves. We are ambitious for our students, academically and for their development into curious young people. Our students understand and can articulate their thoughts and ideas on a wide range of topics, from climate change to politics, economics to science. They look beyond their locality, look at the world in wonder, and become thoughtful and productive members of society.
We welcome anyone who would like to come and visit our school community, and cannot wait to show you all the amazing things we have to offer!
