Teacher of Mathematics - Temporary

Corfe Hills School is expanding! As a result of ongoing growth, we have several exciting job opportunities available. We are an ambitious and high performing school where every student is known and supported to succeed. The school has been on a significant and ambitious improvement journey over the last five years as can be seen by our excellent outcomes. We are delighted with our recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 when we were graded good in all categories.

This is a fabulous opportunity to join our amazing Mathematics team whose work in the last few years has seen their Progress 8 score rise to +0.8 (2019) putting the results for Mathematics in the top 4% of schools nationally. You will join a highly successful department that has achieved excellent, and continually improving, results at KS4 and KS5.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, well qualified and ambitious person to teach Mathematics across the full ability range at Corfe Hills School. The ability to teach to GCSE is required. As a classroom practitioner you would need to demonstrate exceptional classroom practice and be able to motivate and inspire students. This will involve 100% commitment to our vision which is captured in our strapline “High Expectations | Exceptional Individuals”. 

Teaching and Learning  

Teaching and Learning is at the heart of all that we do, and our personalised professional development programme is centred around our Principles of Teaching. These have been shaped by research from, among others, Barak Rosenshine, John Hattie and Doug Lemov. We also follow a lesson structure shaped around these principles that liberates and enables students to ‘Learn to the Max’ every lesson. We are committed to regular developmental lesson visits and coaching conversations as part of our shared commitment to developing as practitioners. 

The Curriculum 

The school operates a 50 period two week timetable. In Year 9, students are taught Maths for 7 hours per fortnight and this rises to 8 hours in Years 10 and 11. A-level students are taught for 9 hours per fortnight and we offer both Maths and Further Maths.

Our Facilities

Our facilities are excellent; Maths has a suite of large, comfortable classrooms with a staff office at its centre. The school’s wireless network is very robust and enables us to use the maths department iPads effectively - and a number of Sixth Form students also bring their own devices with them. Students and staff also have remote access to the school’s network, their files and relevant software.

Living Here

Corfe Hills School is in a fabulous location within easy reach of Bournemouth and its beaches, Poole and its harbour, the Jurassic Coast and the Dorset countryside. The school serves the catchment area of Broadstone, Corfe Mullen and the wider area and we truly believe that all of our students are exceptional.
