Advert

We are seeking an outstanding teacher to lead our science team and invite colleagues with KS3 to KS5 experience.  Our science team is experienced but small (4 staff), they achieve good outcomes for our pupils but need someone now to drive the department by sharing good practice and continually developing as professionals, we would love the new science lead to take every opportunity to enrich the curriculum for our pupils, this would include STEM opportunities as well as trips to inspire.  Our pupils are wonderful and actively engage in their science lessons. 

 

This role represents an exciting opportunity to work as a member of a committed and highly innovative team delivering a curriculum where collaboration is essential. We are looking for a highly original and innovative individual, able to make an exceptional contribution to the school.  You should be up to date on curriculum design and how best to support pupils’ learning but equally you must have motivation, commitment and a genuine desire to improve outcomes for our pupils, allied with a passion for science!  This is a fantastic opportunity, we offer a different setting, all through phases and a wide range of SEND needs with support from our partners across the county – a great challenge for someone looking for change.  Here is a little message from two of our pupils:

 

We have been at The Rosewood School for quite a while now and we are really excited to be part of the new changes that are happening here.  It is really important to us that anyone joining The Rosewood School will have a very good understanding of our physical or mental health needs, but equally we want you to know that just because we struggle we still want the best teachers!”

Information about the school

Our Vision Statement

Aim High, Be Kind, Aim High

We will celebrate and value the achievements and contributions of all members of the school community. All pupils and staff will be supported and challenged to make progress regardless of their starting point, culture, gender or ethnic group.

TRS is a school where we can learn and work together in harmony, free from harassment, prejudice and discrimination. Develop strong links and foster positive relationships with parents, carers and other members of the local community.

We have three core values that were chosen by our 2021/2022 pupils, parents and staff. We felt that these values were good character traits that the pupils at TRS and everyone else in our school community should aim to achieve to support wellbeing and good outcomes:

Confidence Acceptance Perseverance

At TRS we ask that pupils try their very best to overcome barriers, become confident learners, prepare for adult life and celebrate differences . We have hard working and committed staff who will support students to achieve their aspirations and prepare them for their next steps, whether that is reintegrating back to their home school, further education or employment.

It is crucial that our pupils develop core skills and knowledge to succeed in further education or employment, therefore English and Mathematics are a significant focus for the school to ensure pupils get to a level where they can succeed. Pupils will follow a curriculum that is engaging and enjoyable, as such the wider curriculum will help pupils develop as learners and prepare them for any barriers that adult life might bring.

We achieve this by:

Educating and supporting all pupils to learn

Creating a broad curriculum offer that supports the core subjects

Providing a safe, nurturing and supportive environment

Making sure all pupils have the skills to return to mainstream education or to access their next steps in learning

Working in partnership with others, especially Kent schools
