Mathematics Teacher (GCSE and A Level)

We are an enthusiastic department, who are always looking for new and innovative ideas to engage our students. Our aim is to support all students who come to Blackpool Sixth in their pursuit of mathematical excellence. In 2016 the department received its best ever results, being in the top 25% of colleges for value added in A level Maths and Further Maths and for being singled out by OFSTED inspectors for its innovative approach to GCSE resit.
With a brand new £27 million development and state-of-the-art facilities, and a dedicated, high-performing teaching team, we’re proud to be rated Outstanding by Ofsted. As the first sixth form college to be awarded Teaching School status, we also play a vital role in Initial Teacher Training and offer top class CPD and leadership development for all of our staff.
Our students are exceptional too. They’re achieving a 98% pass rate and over 80% progress to Higher Education. That’s largely down to the dedication of our high-performing teaching team.

This role offers you the opportunity to work in a truly comprehensive Sixth form college which continuously strives to work at the cutting edge of teaching and learning. Integration of collaborative, and assessment for, learning is fundamental to this.
