Head of Maths

The Blue Coat School

The Blue Coat School joined the South Farnham Educational Trust and is the second, secondary school alongside Brighton Hill School. As such, we are in a great position to be at the forefront of educational developments to provide the best possible school experience for our students.

There is a strong sense of community within the school and a real desire amongst staff to grow and develop our teaching and provision. We are committed to ensuring a truly inclusive, enjoyable and successful school environment for all children.   

Every student has a place in our school and the team are committed to high standards and expectations in every aspect of our work. We aim to grow and develop as a school community to meet these expectations which will best prepare our students for a successful and happy life after their journey with us.

Maths Department

Our Maths department is well-resourced, with its’ own dedicated block and is highly regarded within the school. The department has made significant progress over the past few years and now we are looking to maintain consistency whilst making further improvements. ‘Complete Maths’ is the backbone of our curriculum. We use visual learning methods, including the use of visualisers and modelling. Our ‘exit ticket’ strategy provides students with feedback and further progress. Our focus on a mastery focused curriculum allows for students to be constantly challenged through deep learning opportunities. 

We are seeking a Head of Department to manage an experienced team to embed and sustain our positive improvements in our Maths Department.
