Are you looking for a career and a profession instead of just a teaching job? Perhaps you are considering expanding your practice in order to diversify your teaching expertise? Are you looking for your first teaching job in Science? Looking for a supportive and friendly department that cares about their staff and provides bespoke professional development? We are looking for a Teacher of Science, possibly specialising in Chemistry.

As a school that has successfully embedded the new curricula across all core subjects, we offer a comprehensive teaching experience. We are a school that seeks to invest in the professional advancement and personal well-being of all our staff, and as such we are able to offer you a new teaching experience that will help you to advance your career.

We look to appoint staff who are ready for the next challenge in their career, have a zeal for their subject in keeping their knowledge up to date, and who are driven and dedicated to nurturing our young people in order to foster in them academic and personal excellence.

Context of the School

We are a community school that Ofsted graded as ‘Good’ in our last inspection and that has a largely comprehensive intake. As we have our own sixth form, we offer curriculum across all three key stages. We offer the EPQ in year 13, which allows all staff to opt to support KS5 curriculum regardless of timetable and subject specialism. We are a wholly inclusive school and cater for the full ability range of the students in our locality, finding opportunities to develop the demographic that we serve. We benefit from having superb facilities across the school including such elements as a theatre, cinema, recording studio, sports arena and award winning learning resource centre.

Science is central to the school’s commitment to ensuring high quality learning across the curriculum. We have excellent Science facilities including 8 dedicated fully equipped labs, a large break out space and a dedicated computer area. Most importantly, you would be joining an enthusiastic and supportive team of staff, including both experienced and developing teachers and excellent technicians.

If you feel that this is the place for you please apply.
