Educating 1200 students, The Bishop’s Stortford High School provides a single-sex education for boys in Years 7 to 11 and has a large, thriving co-educational sixth form, with over one hundred girls on roll. Last year our students achieved 84% 5 A*- C (Inc. English & Maths) at GCSE and 55% A* - B at A-Level. We have a strong ethos, based on high expectations and standards for all, a committed and supportive staff who deliver high quality, engaging lessons and well-behaved students with excellent attitudes to learning.
We were graded Outstanding in every category by Ofsted in March 2017.
If you are passionate about Mathematics and would like to join our supportive and successful department (90% grades 9-4 at GCSE, 59% A*- B at A2 mathematics) in a high performing school, where well-disciplined students want to learn, then we would like to hear from you.
Since our time as a specialist Mathematics and Computing School, Mathematics has been a very popular choice at A-Level with over 100 students choosing to study Mathematics and typically more than 10 studying Further Mathematics. We have a strong emphasis on staff development with A-Level teaching being shared across the department. The appointed candidate can expect to gain significant enjoyment and professional fulfilment from working here. An enthusiastic, committed and forward looking teacher is required who can lead and contribute to the growth of this important subject area. A willingness and/or desire to teach Further Mathematics would be an advantage.
The school has a formidable range of extra-curricular activities, which include first class fixture cards in all major sports, a diverse and high quality music and drama programme, DofE, Model United Nations, debating, public speaking and many more.
You are strongly encouraged to watch the short video of the school.
TBSHS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the safety and welfare of all our children and expects staff to share this commitment. A Disclosure Barring Service check is required for all successful applicants.

In March 2017 Ofsted judged the school to be Outstanding in every category.
The school’s motto: ‘Respice, Aspice, Prospice’ means we must look to the past, the present and the future. We are keen to promote traditional values of courtesy, respect and good discipline, though we also recognise the need to provide all our students with the tools they require to flourish and succeed, both now and in the future, and help them develop the skills and qualities that will ensure they are ready for the challenges that lie ahead. Our focus is on delivering high quality, engaging lessons and providing students with the care and guidance that allows them to succeed.
We combine this with our extremely successful and wide-ranging enrichment programme, in which all students are encouraged to participate, as we believe that leading rich and varied lives allows them to flourish. We build positive relationships, which means all students are provided with the support they need to really engage with, and enjoy, school life.
We encourage an open flow of communication between school and home so that parents really feel in touch with their child’s development. TBSHS is an active member of the Bishop’s Stortford Education Trust (BSET) as we feel that collaborating locally brings many mutual benefits to each school.
We are fully committed to preparing our young people to be thoughtful, capable, responsible citizens of the future. We provide a ‘Truly all-round education’ and we firmly believe this to be a great school and a special place for children to learn and grow.
