At Bodmin College, our mission is “to provide a great quality of education so that every child can live a life full of choice and boundless opportunities.”

We believe in the power of strong relationships- between students, their families, staff and the wider community- and that we become stronger by learning with and from each other.

Bodmin College is on a transformational journey to provide an inclusive and ambitious education for all learners.

In the last 12 months we:

• Improved A8 to be in line with national standards moving from 27^th in Cornwall to 11^th
• Are the top 10 school nationally for improvement in English A8
• Reduced fixed term suspensions by 68%
• Improved attendance by 3.61% and have been recently recognised as a high performing school within our similar schools 

Our students are incredible and deserve the very best staff who are driven, compassionate relentlessly positive in what we are seeking to achieve together. You will be joining a team who work collegiately together with a common purpose to achieve our goals.

Bodmin College is a warm, ambitious and forward-looking school community in the heart of Cornwall. We are part of Cornwall Education Learning Trust which means we have a strong culture of professional growth: we invest in our staff, encourage reflective practice and support you to become a great practitioner.

The role of a Year Manager is to enable all pupils to make progress within education by providing leadership and support around student welfare, attendance and behavioural issues. This will involve working with staff, parents/carers and pupils to address barriers to learning and building and sustaining effective relationships and with families to engage them as active stakeholders in their child’s education.

As the Year Manager you will be directly involved with supporting the exciting transition of our local Year 6 pupils from Primary to Secondary School, bridging the gap between two exciting chapters of a young person’s education, helping pupils and families step confidently into secondary school life. The role will involve working closely with our transition lead, our primary schools and parents/carers across our local community, to ensure all are prepared emotionally, socially, and academically for the change ahead. This may include organising visits and transition days to supporting vulnerable pupils and easing anxieties. Our role is to make sure no child feels lost in the move to a bigger school. The support of the year manager role is all about building confidence, sparking curiosity, and turning what could feel like a daunting leap, into an adventure full of new opportunities.

If you share our values and are passionate about enabling every child to succeed, we’d love to hear from you.
