Job overview
We are seeking to appoint, from September 2020, an inspiring, committed and enthusiastic Teacher of Mathematics to join an outward-looking and high achieving faculty. The successful candidate will be an outstanding teacher, passionate about their subject, and must be willing to contribute to the wider life of the school.
The Faculty
The Mathematics Faculty at Bury Grammar School is a highly successful area of the school that consistently produces outstanding external examination results at both Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5. The Faculty consists of the Head of Faculty, a Deputy Head of Faculty, Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 3 co-ordinators and a team of experienced and talented mathematics teachers. It regularly produces Oxbridge students and students who go on to attend competitive courses at the other prestigious universities. In order to support pupils on the journey towards this, the Faculty runs advanced mathematics workshops for all students, starting with Year 7s, through to Oxbridge preparation for Sixth Formers, stimulating interest in mathematical concepts outside of the curriculum.
At both Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5, the department teaches Edexcel specifications, with pupils currently studying for the IGCSE in Years 9 to 11 and Further Mathematics and/or Mathematics A Level during Years 12 and 13. Year 11 pupils are also routinely given the opportunity to study for an extra mathematics qualification, alongside their GCSE studies, in order to further prepare them for A Level study. Pupils of all ages are also regularly entered for both local and national competitions and have a healthy record of success in these areas.
