Job overview
We are one of the top-performing colleges in the country, situated in the cosmopolitan seaside city of Brighton & Hove. Working here offers the combination of both a wonderful place to work and a great city in which to live. Our students and staff are colourful, aspirational and hard-working – which is perhaps why 96% of employees would “recommend BHASVIC as a good place to work” and many of our students go on to Higher Education.

The Maths Department
The Maths department is a large, innovative and dynamic team of staff, currently comprising nine full-time teachers and eight part-time teachers.

Teachers are expected to undertake course leadership roles as an integral part of their teaching commitment e.g. A1 Single Maths, GCSE Maths etc.
Maths is largely accommodated in nine dedicated classrooms, each with an interactive whiteboard. In addition, there is a resource base in which subject extensions (drop-in workshops) are held.
Student outcomes in the BHASVIC Maths department are outstanding with well over 80% of single maths students and well over 90% of further maths students achieving A*-B grades each year. In terms of value added, the overwhelming majority of its courses have been consistently operating at ALPS 2 level (above the 90th percentile of Maths providers in the UK) in recent years. We have extremely high standards for all our students and aim to develop their knowledge, skills and experience in a stimulating and varied learning environment. We look to exploit diverse strategies of teaching, learning, motivation and tracking so that all students are able to access the understanding and knowledge needed to prepare them effectively for examination and beyond.

Ofsted
“Learners make excellent progress, and in some cases exceptional progress. Most do much better than might be expected from their prior achievements when they join the college. This added value is a consistently strong feature of the college since the previous inspection when it was highlighted as a key strength for A level learners. It is particularly noteworthy given the relatively high attainment of learners when they start their courses.”
