You will be able to enthuse and motivate our staff and students with your passion for Mathematics and dynamic teaching, presence and personality.

In Mathematics at CSIA we have a culture of aspiration and success for every student. For example, almost all students are entered for the higher tier at GCSE and expected to achieve significant levels of progress, no matter where they start on entry to the school.

Mathematics is a high achieving and dynamic faculty. Results at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 are outstanding and students make excellent progress. Members of the team are totally committed to ensuring successful outcomes for our students. We use the Edexcel linear course at GCSE and also offer FSMQ Additional Mathematics and GCSE Statistics.

For the past two years (2013 and 2014) CSIA has been the highest performing state school in Cornwall at GCSE, according to official government statistics (percentage of students achieving 5 or more A*-C grades including English and Maths First Entry).

Our school has developed exceptional International Science and Mathematics links with top schools in Japan, Singapore, Thailand, China and South Korea. Recent collaboration has involved joint research projects, International Science and Mathematics fairs and competitions, as well as many significant student/staff visits and exchanges. The successful appointees will be encouraged to participate in this amazing and unique programme.

About Camborne Science & International Academy

Camborne Science & International Academy (CSIA)

Prides itself on being a school which 'Dares to be Different'. It is a friendly, dynamic and innovative school in the heart of beautiful West Cornwall. As a school, we constantly ask the question 'How can we do better?' and we could never be described as being complacent. The school, which caters for students from Year 7 through to Sixth Form, is at the forefront of a number of major learning initiatives, actively encouraging innovative practices and is committed to raising standards of academic achievement for all. We believe that learning should be continued through life. Our aim is to provide an environment which is both stimulating and challenging so that when students leave this school they have acquired a thirst for further knowledge that may extend beyond their chosen area of study and remain with them for the rest of their lives.

Our mission is to consistently perform as an outstanding and exceptional learning community - we believe our students; staff and local community deserve the best, and make no apology for setting very high traditional standards as regards student behaviour. The staff at the school are conscientious, friendly and loyal, and show great commitment to our students and community.

As a school we currently hold International School Award status and we have developed exceptional International Science and Mathematics links with top schools in Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, China and South Korea. Recent collaboration has involved joint research projects, International Science and Mathematics fairs and competitions, as well as many significant student/staff visits and exchanges.

Alongside this specially designed curriculum, students experience a rich co-curricular programme that complements the curriculum and deepens and develops the scholarship of these students. Students keep a broad and balanced curriculum but can choose to specialise in STEM or Liberal Arts fields after Year 9.
