At Bourne Grammar School we know that support and appreciation brings the best out of staff and students alike.

The Role
The role will ideally suit candidates with experience of working with children and who would like to make a difference to an individual student's life chances as they are supported through their school education. Experience of working with children is not essential; a caring and patient personality and a willingness to support a vulnerable child is.
Bourne Grammar School
This is an exciting opportunity to join an outstanding and oversubscribed mixed selective school serving Bourne, Stamford and Peterborough. Our students are well-behaved and motivated and are taught in modern and well-resourced facilities. The school offers 240 places to students in Year 7 and it has expanded to become one of the largest grammar schools in the country. The vast majority of Year 11 students transfer into our Sixth Form where students are offered a choice of 26 A-Level subjects.
The best atmosphere, the best support, the best results
This is our purpose statement - we have no long or complicated mission statement. The order of the purpose statement is deliberate; we believe that if we get the atmosphere and support right then, given our able students and committed staff, good results will follow. The atmosphere is special and cherished by us all and something that interview candidates often remark upon.
We are a large and busy school and our students are well-behaved, motivated and want to be here and their parents/carers want them to be here. Most of the students, most of the time, want to learn and enjoy lessons which are well-taught and engaging.
