What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a Subject Coordinator of Biology who is passionate and has the drive to inspire and empower the young minds of our students at Noel-Baker Academy. The successful candidate will be required to teach Science across the full age and ability range of the school and lead in developing Biology. If you believe that all children, no matter their background, needs or aptitudes are entitled to learn the best that has been thought and said, we would encourage you to apply for this role to join our extraordinary staff team.

What the school offers its staff

Would you like to work in a school where “pupils thrive,” where there is an “excitement about learning,” where “conduct is exemplary” and where “high expectations are set by staff and pupils live up to them”? (Ofsted February 2022).

At Noel-Baker Academy everything we do is underpinned by our passionate belief that outstanding schooling is the right of every child, and a determination that such a vision is achievable. We believe that our students are entitled to the same breadth and depth of provision as any student attending any of the best schools in the country. This is a vision shared with the LEAD Academy Trust, of which we are a part. We are on a journey towards excellence and that with persistent effort, hard work and patience amazing things can and will be achieved for and by our young people. We believe in and aspire to provide an inclusive education for all. That is, high expectations of and for all pupils, an insistence on excellent behaviour, equal access to an academically rigorous curriculum taught by highly skilled subject specialists and a sharp focus on high value enrichment opportunities that will enable all students to excel. We will never accept that family background, socio-economic circumstances or prior attainment will inevitably limit young people’s potential and so the profile of our intake will always be a reason for our provision, and never an excuse for our outcomes.
