An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Cheltenham Bournside School as a Teacher of Maths. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of Maths to join a lively and enthusiastic Maths department.

You will be joining a Maths department consisting of the Head of Maths, 3 key stage leads and 12 teachers.

The curriculum is carefully planned to support and extend the acquisition of knowledge and understanding. A balanced Maths program, incorporating most of the features of the National Curriculum, is taught to pupils in Years 7, 8 & 9. Each class has one or two Maths teachers. In Year 10, students start their GCSE Edexcel syllabus course. A large number of students go on to study Maths and Further Maths at A Level.
