The Maths department is one of the leading academic areas within Eltham College, with significantly growing numbers of pupils involved in courses offered within the department and outstanding recent results across both IGCSE and A Level. This position becomes available due to a planned maternity leave and offers the opportunity for the successful candidate to join a dedicated and experienced department based in newly-developed, state-of-the-art teaching facilities. The position becomes available from November 2022, with the opportunity of an earlier start date if possible.
Maths is a compulsory subject within the Eltham College curriculum up to 5th Form (Year 11), with all Junior and Middle school pupils (years 7 to 11) receiving 5 teaching periods of maths each week, with each period lasting 40 minutes. Teaching throughout the Lower and Middle Schools takes place within sets based entirely on the mathematical ability of pupils, with regular school-wide and departmental assessments used to review setting and track pupil progress. We currently have 3 to 4 maths sets across all Lower School year groups (1st to 3rd Form) and 5 sets in both Middle School years (4th and 5th Forms).
From January of 3rd Form pupils follow the Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics specification and consistently achieve excellent results with, over the past three years, over 60% of entries gaining a grade 7 or above.
Maths is one of the most popular Sixth Form subject at Eltham College and has seen significant recent growth in student numbers. Six A Level sets across Upper and Lower Sixth years currently follow the Edexcel course that is offered, comprising 76 students (over 40% of the current Sixth Form). 18 students are also currently studying A Level Further Maths. Results in all Sixth Form courses are strong, with 76% of candidate entries gaining a B grade or better in 2020 and 2021.
Every year pupils achieve success beyond public examinations. Many pupils are entered for the annual UKMT Challenges and the department continues to develop opportunities for pupils to engage further with the subject, both within and beyond timetabled lessons through our recently launched Eltham College Diploma programme of enrichment.
The Maths department has its own dedicated teaching area within the Derbyshire Building (opened in 2017), comprising six classrooms and an additional small-group tuition area. Each classroom is fitted with a newly-installed smartboard. There are currently six full-time teachers within the department, with three further colleagues delivering maths alongside their work in other subject areas. The department boasts a number of experienced and highly talented teachers, several of whom have other significant pastoral and academic responsibilities within the College.
Eltham College has made significant strides in recent years, with expanding pupil numbers and a developing reputation for achievement in academic and other areas. This was confirmed by the most recent ISI inspection (November 2017) which judged the school to be “excellent” in terms of the quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements and also pupils’ personal development. In September 2021 the College welcomed onsite its own Prep division, educating pupils from 4-11 years old, and there may also be opportunities here for the successful candidate to contribute to the delivery of maths to these age groups.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach up to 27 periods of Maths per week (with each period 40 minutes in duration). All full-time teachers at Eltham College also act as tutors within the College’s thriving House system and are expected to contribute fully to the rich and diverse programme of activities and Sport enjoyed by pupils across all year groups. Life at Eltham College can be very full but also immensely rewarding!
