Teacher of  Science - part time

At KS3 the Science department delivers the Edexcel Exploring Science curriculum, and students then go on to study the new Edexcel 9-1 Combined Science GCSE course; achieving 2 GCSE qualifications by the end of year 11.   At KS5 the department currently offers BTEC Applied Science, and regularly review their offer to acommodate the changing needs of their students.

The department makes regular use of the farm in their learning, to take full advantage of this unique resource. In response the changes in the national curriculum, KS3 students are assessed against steps in a Trust wide policy, with support and advice available from colleagues spanning 3 academies.

This position is part time, FTE negotiable with the successful candidate, with full time available to candidates that can offer Mathematics or Psychology as a second subject.

The postholder will teach science at all Key Stages, although we will consider candidates who can only teach up to Key Stage 4.  This post would suit an NQT or an experienced teacher and you will be joining a friendly team, with a range of experience and expertise. We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic and committed professional to join us on our journey as we continue to raise standards, inspire students and develop young scientists of the future.

Visits to the academy are highly recommended, and the leadership team would be happy to discuss the vision for the academy with candidates either during a visit, or during a telephone conversation.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment. All posts are subject to vetting checks including an Enhanced DBS check and references.  An overseas police check will be required by candidates who have worked or resided outside of the UK, in the last 10 years.
