Bournemouth School for Girls is an 11-18 selective girls’ Grammar School and Sixth Form in the heart of Bournemouth. BSG currently has 1260 students on roll which includes those in our Sixth Form. It provides students with extensive academic and extra-curricular activities from Year 7 to Year 13 (the majority of students remain in the school for 6th form study). The school is academically successful and is 8th highest in England’s Southwest region according to the latest Sunday Times Parent Power Survey. The school was inspected by Ofsted in May 2024 and judged to be outstanding in all areas. The inspectors summarised the ethos and atmosphere of the school as follows; “Bournemouth School for Girls is a joyous place. Pupils flourish academically and socially. They are passionate about their learning and embrace the multitude of wider development opportunities that the school provides.”
The school’s vision is: ‘ The Best for Our Students, The Best from Our Students’ and the curriculum in place ensures that students are provided with the best opportunities to prepare them for their future.
Art & Design is a thriving department at BSG with excellent outcomes at both GCSE and A Level. This post offers an exceptional opportunity for a talented teacher to share their passion and subject expertise with motivated and hard-working young people. We value our broad and balanced curriculum, which has strong creative and artistic strands. We would hope that the successful candidate would bring boundless energy and enthusiasm to support the work of an experienced Head of Department. The post is available as a significant part-time role (in the region of 0.8 FTE), or full-time if the successful candidate is able to offer a second subject. Please stipulate preference in your application.
The ideal candidate will be a teacher who can inspire and bring out the best in all our students. In addition to more experienced colleagues, this post is also suitable for ECTs.
