Job overview
Head of Mathematics at Brampton College
We are seeking an exceptional individual to lead the Mathematics Department at London's top sixth form college.
When the college opened 32 years ago, it was under the name The Mathematics Tuition Centre, and we only offered Maths and Further Maths A level in the first year. Brampton has of course grown substantially since then, but Maths is still very much at the heart of the college and over half the students in the college study Maths.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a highly successful and well-established department, and to work with ambitious and motivated students and to encourage them to develop their love of the subject, as well as the skills needed to succeed at A level and beyond. Each year we have a thriving Further Maths group who go on to secure the highest grades at A level. We also offer training for AEA in Maths, STEP, the MAT and the TMUA. This role will appeal to a dedicated and enthusiastic Mathematician who loves teaching their subject and has the ability to inspire others.
We are exceptionally proud of the A level results as well as the destinations of our Maths students, who will often go on to study the subject or degree programmes relating to Maths at some of the best universities in the UK.
We welcome applications from current department heads as well as those for whom this would be their first leadership position. We also expect the successful candidate to inspire other teachers in the department to ensure that we continue to deliver lessons and a Mathematics curriculum of the highest calibre.

About Brampton College
The College
Brampton College is a leading independent sixth form college, located in North West London. It was founded 26 years ago by the Principal, Bernard Canetti. The College has an outstanding record of academic success and has consistently been the most successful sixth form college in London, coming top of the Department for Education league tables for the past 17 years. The College provides the highest academic standards and individual care in a friendly, encouraging and supportive environment. Currently there are 245 students on roll and 75 members of staff.
Location & Facilities
We are situated in an attractive period building close to the amenities of Hendon. The buildings have been designed to meet our requirements and include four laboratories (all of which have been refurbished in the past few years), a purpose-built art studio, excellent computer facilities, a library, main hall, staff room and student common room.
We have recently invested in a four-storey extension of the College to provide additional class rooms, tutorial rooms and other facilities, which opened in January 2016.
Our Results & Inspection Reports
In 2017, 49% of A level results were A*/A grades and 81% were A*-B grades. Brampton College came 3rd nationally in the DfE performance table of independent sixth form colleges in 2017 and has come top of all sixth form colleges in London for the last 17 years, ranked on average point score per A level.
This year, 64% of our students gained entry to their first choice university with 63% progressing to Russell Group Universities. Current students applying for university places for 2018 are already holding offers from top universities including Oxford, UCL, LSE, Imperial, King’s and Bristol for a variety of competitive courses such as Medicine, Dentistry, Architecture, Economics, Law and English.
The College was inspected by Ofsted in February 2009. Both quality of education overall and the quality of teaching and assessment were judged to be “outstanding”. (Please see downloadable attachment). This judgement of the College was confirmed in our latest inspection by ISI in January 2012, where the academic and other achievements of the students, as well as their personal development and the governance of the College were all judged to be excellent. The report commented:
‘The College is highly successful in achieving its aims of fostering high academic outcomes and at the same time boosting students’ capacity for vigorous independent academic effort and personal organisation’. The report also said ‘Teaching is excellent… The contribution of the teaching drives the students’ excellent achievement and exceptional academic progress’.
