Head of Mathematics

Head of Mathematics, Bristol

Bristol Free School requires a Head of Mathematics to join us from 1 September 2014.

Bristol Free School is seeking an outstanding mathematics teacher to lead our Mathematics Department following an external promotion.

Bristol Free School opened in September 2011 and in a short space of time we have established a very successful school. Students, staff, governors and parents have worked tirelessly to create high standards and attitudes at the school. Crucially this work has been framed in the expectation that students at Bristol Free School are here not just to achieve but to excel.

Students are making rapid progress, behaviour is exemplary and every member of staff enjoys a high level of professional support and training from the Senior Team and experts in our Trust. Following our first full Ofsted inspection in February last year, Bristol Free School is rated as a Good school with Outstanding features.

The School admits 150 children into Year 7 each September and will build to its full capacity by September 2015. However, as well as enjoying brand new facilities which opened in September 2013, we are intending to open a 6th Form by 2016 and these plans are well underway.

The position of Head of Mathematics carries a TLR1a with the expectation that the successful candidate will develop and grow the department over the next few years to ensure that we have outstanding results at GCSE and A Level. Mathematics is at the heart of our curriculum and we need the very best candidate to join our team of staff at Bristol Free School.

If you are someone who is looking for an ideal leadership opportunity in Mathematics and are ready to step up to leading our Mathematics Department or are an experienced leader of Mathematics, then we welcome your application. The chance to shape and grow a department of excellent teachers at Bristol Free School is not to be missed.
