Teacher of Mathematics

Brampton College continues to be one of the best performing sixth form colleges in London and has remained at the top of the Department for Education league tables for over twenty years. 

As a specialist sixth form college, we provide our students with outstanding teaching and a wide variety of A level options, enabling them to choose subjects that appeal to their interests and fit their skills. This leads to an enthusiastic and dedicated group of young people whose confidence and performance flourishes.

We are proud of the college's continuous tradition of academic excellence. The Principal, John Wilson, appointed in 2023, is only the second person to hold this post in the history of the college, which was founded over thirty years ago by Bernard Canetti. The college is family-owned, not part of a group or trust, and staff enjoy a range of attractive benefits. Small class sizes and a high level of student engagement offer a teaching experience you are unlikely to find elsewhere, and the low level of staff turnover makes the college a very stable environment for all who work here. We have exceptional amenities, including four recently refurbished laboratories, a stunning art and photography studio and a supervised library for quiet study. Our team of dedicated teachers, enhanced by a group of specialist support staff, allow us to focus on students as individuals to offer a unique and extremely positive educational experience.

There are approximately 230 students on roll each year across three year groups: AS, A2 and one-year A level students, as well as a small GCSE cohort.

The role of Teacher of Mathematics

We are seeking an exceptional individual to join our highly successful Mathematics Department.

When the college opened 33 years ago, it was under the name The Mathematics Tuition Centre, and we offered only Maths and Further Maths A level in our first year. Brampton has of course grown substantially since then, but Maths is still very much at the heart of the college and over half the students in the college study Maths.

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly successful and well-established department, to work with ambitious and motivated students and to encourage them to develop their love of the subject, as well as the skills required to succeed at A level and beyond. Each year we have a thriving Further Maths group who go on to secure the highest grades at A level. We also offer training for AEA in Maths, STEP, the MAT and the TMUA. This role will appeal to a dedicated and enthusiastic Mathematician who loves teaching their subject and has the ability to inspire others. 

We are exceptionally proud of the A level results as well as the destinations of our Maths students, who will often go on to study the subject or degree programmes relating to Maths at some of the best universities in the UK.

We welcome applicants seeking either a full-time or part-time position. We expect the successful candidate to inspire their students and play their part in ensuring that we continue to deliver lessons and a Mathematics curriculum of the highest calibre. 

In particular, the duties include:

• Maintain and improve the standard of academic excellence in the department
• Have the ability to teach all aspects of A level (and GCSE) Mathematics
• Contribute to the planning and delivery of courses for all students
• Be involved in regularly updating schemes of work for the department
• Attend regular departmental meetings and work with the Head of Mathematics to monitor and review standards of teaching and learning within the department
• Contribute to the tutorials given by the department
• Contribute to the setting and marking of weekly tests and mock examinations
• With the Head of Mathematics, monitor progress of individual students within the department and devise programmes of support as required
• Play an appropriate role in the pastoral care and counselling of students
• Be subject to a DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service) Clearance Check

Start Date
