Trainee Teacher of Science 

Required for September 2022     Full-Time     Salaried

 

We are offering a salaried School Direct training placement for September 2022 in Science.  This job will be paid on the Unqualified Teacher Scale subject to experience (£18,169-£28,725 per annum).  This would be suitable for a Science based degree and would focus on your area of specialism.

 

The school has an excellent reputation for Science resulting in many students continuing to study Biology, Chemistry or Physics at A level in the school’s large sixth form.  In Year 7 and 8, lessons are timetabled as 'Science' resulting in a more holistic view of the topics covered. From Year 9 onwards, the Sciences are taught separately allowing excellent and in depth preparation for external examinations. At GCSE students take either Triple Science  or Combined Science. A levels are offered in all the Sciences and are highly successful both in terms of results and as preparation for university.  Practical work forms a key part of Science lessons; we want students to discover things themselves and the best way to do this is through investigations. 

 

We firmly believe that we offer a fantastic opportunity to learn to teach alongside truly inspirational teachers in exciting learning environments offering superb career development and support. Our partnership includes several schools in Kent.  As part of our training routes, you will train in a main school and then an additional, contrasting placement to give you a rounded programme. 

 

The Science Department consists of 10  colleagues supported by 4 Science Technicians.  Our science facilities are extensive and we will be starting a new building which will include 5 new laboratories. 

Full details and an application pack are available from the school’s website https://www.mggs.org/joining-us/join-our-team/vacancies/

 

Closing Date: 8am on 4th July 2022
