Deputy Curriculum Leader in Science job summary
We are looking to appoint a Deputy Curriculum Leader for Science who has the vision and ambition to support the Curriculum leader in leading a talented and successful department. The successful candidate will have excellent subject knowledge and be able to motivate students through inspirational, personalised teaching. This is an excellent opportunity for;
A talented teacher to join a thriving school
To work with students who are committed to their learning and passionate about their own development
To further develop an already high functioning department of 16 skilled teachers
To work to raise the outcomes for all pupils by inspiring and motivating students and staff alike
The outcomes below are excellent and demonstrate the success and engagement in Science across key stage 4 and Key stage 5.
A large uptake of pupils (approximately 45%) opt for single sciences at GCSE achieving an average grade of over 6.5
Average value added for pupils at KS4 is +0.2
An increasing uptake at A level; 81 students in Year 13 and 106 students in Year 12 studying either Biology, Chemistry or Physics with two or three teaching groups for each subject in each year group
Core Maths is offered to students in Year 12; many choose to take it in order to support their Science A Level.
In every way the Science Department mirrors the aims and beliefs of the school. All staff work hard, supported by a committed leadership team, to provide a safe and encouraging environment for learning. Arden students love to acquire new knowledge and skills. Our teachers relish the opportunity to deliver engaging, challenging lessons to committed students, supported by caring families.
The uptake of Sciences at GCSE and all three A Levels is extremely high. A specialism in either Biology, Chemistry or Physics will be considered and the ability to teach A Level in one of these disciplines is essential. At the heart of the reason for our excellent recruitment to the subject is our commitment to delivering engaging learning across all key stages. The successful candidate will not only join this team but will strategically lead to further enhance an already high performing department
The department currently has twelve full time and four part-time members of staff. It has a wealth of experienced teachers who all work well together. Students study either AQA Triple or Double Science (Trilogy specification) at GCSE and A Level’s in Chemistry, Physics and Biology are offered.
Commitment to safeguarding
Arden Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
