Full-time, permanent
This role will give the successful candidate the opportunity to work as a member of the Mathematics

Department at Bosworth Independent School.
At Bosworth Independent School, the Mathematics Department is at the heart of a dynamic and supportive learning community. As our students come from a diverse range of nationalities, they bring a rich cultural mix to the mathematics classroom. Students are polite, well-behaved, and eager to learn, creating an
environment where both teaching and learning thrive. We, as mathematics teachers, are equally committed to fostering a strong academic foundation while promoting the value and enjoyment of mathematics to students.

Our department is built on collaboration, support, and a shared commitment to helping students achieve their highest potential. We share resources, assist one another, and run additional support sessions, to ensure every student receives the support and guidance they need. Our students also participate in UK
Maths Challenges, Inter-house and Inter-school competitions, and university entrance preparation for qualifications such as MAT and STEP.

The Mathematics Department follows the International Edexcel syllabus from KS3 through to KS4, with Edexcel A-Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics offered at KS5. We provide additional opportunities for students to extend their mathematical knowledge, including GCSE Further Mathematics as part of our
co-curricular programme. Our department also offers a range of extracurricular activities, such as Chess club, Programming with Python, Mahjong, Knitting, and Debating, ensuring that students can explore their interests beyond the classroom.

Our strong team spirit also extends beyond school, as we often meet up for social gatherings or simply to enjoy a game of cards outside of school.
At Bosworth, we believe in making mathematics engaging, accessible, and relevant. Our vision is to inspire students to see the true beauty of mathematics in the wider world by bringing the subject to life in an exciting and meaningful way. If you are passionate about teaching and want to be part of a friendly, dedicated, and innovative team, we would love to welcome you to our team.
