Liskeard School and Community College
Liskeard is a friendly, caring, supportive school in South-east Cornwall with people and relationships at its heart. We are proud of our school and we are relentless in our approach to make it even better. We take the education of our students very seriously and want the school to provide the best education for the community it serves.
At Liskeard we believe that when we work together we achieve more. Being part of a team encompasses a number of important values that are as important in school as they are in life.
We believe that in Team Liskeard:
- Everyone is equal and has a voice
- Everyone should be treated fairly and with respect
- Everyone takes responsibility for their actions
We want our students and staff to lead happy and fulfilling lives. To achieve this, we believe the attitudes of courage, resilience and kindness are of utmost importance. With these attitudes, anything is possible.
As an 11-18 school, we are incredibly proud of our Sixth Form which is rated amongst the top 10% nationally and is one of the best performing 16-18 providers regionally.
Judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted, we are looking to appoint an outstanding colleague with a proven track record of school improvement to lead the Maths Faculty and support the school on its journey to becoming Outstanding. As Assistant Headteacher, the role will provide opportunities for you to develop a whole school leadership role alongside your responsibilities in leading the Maths Faculty in securing ongoing improvements in pupil outcomes.
We would also welcome interest from outstanding candidates who are current post holders and wish to be considered for a Head of Maths role rather than a senior leadership post.
Liskeard School and Community College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

Values and Vision
Liskeard School takes its community college status very seriously, and draws a great deal of pride in its close links with the local community and local schools, as well as the comprehensive nature of its education. To this end, Liskeard attempts to treat all students as individuals, and thus gives them access to a wide range of courses, both onsite and offsite, so they can pursue their preferred interests and qualifications whether academic or vocational.
Ofsted
“Achievement in the sixth form is good and improving. The starting points from GCSE in recent years have been below national average, and progress from this starting point is very good. Recent A-level results were significantly above the national average overall and were particularly strong in business studies, English language, English literature and history.”
