Job overview

Felpham Community College is an 11-18 local authority, mixed comprehensive with 1600 students on roll and a successful sixth form. In October 2024 OFSTED confirmed our 'Good' status originally achieved in January 2016. This is an exciting time to join Felpham following the opening of our 11.5M new build programme in late 2019, providing outstanding facilities for our students and staff.


We are seeking to appoint a teacher of maths to join an established and effective team of specialists. This will be a stimulating and rewarding post for an enthusiastic teacher to join a team of nine teachers.


The department has detailed, well-resourced schemes of work for every key stage that allow teachers to teach well planned and structured lessons. Teachers regularly share ideas and work collaboratively to develop and improve these schemes of work and lessons to ensure high standards of teaching and learning.


The successful applicant will be keen to immerse themselves in this effective team, contributing to the future development of the department. They will be required to teach maths across key stages 3 and 4 and the ability range. There is also the possibility of KS5 teaching for suitably qualified candidates. As a Gold Unicef Rights Respecting school, a desire to build strong, effective relationships with students and staff to foster a cohesive, inclusive, and positive school environment is also sought.

FCC is an 11-18 local authority, mixed comprehensive with 1600 students on roll and a successful sixth form. In October 2024, OFSTED confirmed our 'Good' status originally achieved in January 2016.



The school has a good record of academic outcomes and pastoral support and our core values of achievement, care and equality underpin our work, creating a happy and vibrant school.



Students who have joined us since 2020 have benefitted from fantastic modern facilities in our new three-storey block that replaced all of our older classrooms. Whilst great schools are about the people in them and not just the buildings, the enhanced facilities at Felpham have been a massive boost.

Ofsted

"The school is a warm and welcoming place. Pupils' welfare is a very high priority for staff and good systems are in place to offer help and support, sometimes involving external agencies when appropriate. A very high proportion of parents say that their child is happy in school and is well looked after here. One parent described how, 'the staff have been excellent at looking after [their son's] whole educational well- being. They have responded to any concerns immediately and have helped him as if he were their own'".
