Job overview
Exciting opportunity to join a successful team at a time of curriculum innovation – be part of it! Whether an NQT or experienced teacher, you will enjoy working in this supportive department where your continuing professional development is championed.
• Do you passionately believe that all young people need to be mathematically fluent to navigate the world around them?
• Can you inspire students to have an enquiring mathematical mind?
• Are you ambitious for yourself and others to excel?
If the answer to all three of these is 'yes' and you are a skilled teacher of mathematics who is ambitious for every single child who enters your classroom, then please read on...
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the mathematics department at Brimsham Green School. The department has a strong record of success, and is consistently in quintiles 2/3 for the progress of middle and high attainers, and those who are disadvantaged; attainment is consistently above national averages. There is no gender gap in achievement.
Uptake at A Level is very strong, an indicator of the engagement in learning instilled in students throughout KS3 and KS4.
You would be joining a team of seven other very experienced mathematicians who are well-supported by Teaching Assistants embedded within the department. Leadership is distributed across the department, reflecting the model used at whole school level, and you would work closely and collaboratively with a KS3 and a KS5 co-ordinator of mathematics.
In return for your hard work, passion and commitment we offer:
• Bespoke CPD, whether you are an NQT or an experienced teacher - we firmly believe 'better never stops'
• A supportive team of departmental colleagues who involve themselves fully in the pastoral and social life of the school
• The opportunity to join a committed team of staff who believe that teaching is a great profession, and who challenge each other to excel
The closing date for this post is Monday 25 March at 9:00 a.m.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and the successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

About Brimsham Green School
A Little About Us...
Our school is a mixed comprehensive, maintained by South Gloucestershire Local Authority. We are situated in large, well-maintained school grounds in Yate (a 30 minute commute from central Bristol). Larger than average for a secondary school, we offer 1,235 places to 11-19 year olds when fully subscribed.
A Warm Welcome
Visitors to the school consistently comment on how friendly and welcoming Brimsham staff and students are. This matters to us. We believe that students and staff thrive when they feel well-supported and cared for, and this enables them to flourish.
Inspiring ALL to Excel
Our shared vision is to inspire ALL students to excel. We firmly believe that our learners have limitless potential, and our responsibility is to nurture this talent, so that students and staff achieve more than they thought possible.
So, how do we translate this into reality? We promote skills and values that are important to us, such as independence and aspiration, and a deeply held belief that 'better never stops'. To this end, we are proud of the professional learning community we have established amongst staff, evident through our lively and engaging CPD programme, run by teachers for teachers. The programme supports staff at all stages of their career.
Most importantly we aim to develop hardworking, independent learners who themselves are motivated to achieve. Being confident, being ambitious, aspiring to be the next generation of leaders - these are all attributes we value.
Above all else though we understand that teaching and learning does not just happen in classrooms, or stop at the school gate, so we actively work with parents and community-based projects to give our students the very best opportunities to succeed.
Our school community is proudly inclusive, and we focus on celebrating our differences so that we better understand each other and the community within which we live. Ultimately we are proud that our students leave us with the personal qualities and academic qualifications to lead happy, successful lives, achieving more than they thought possible.
