Deputy Head of Science job summary
Ark St Alban’s Academy
Deputy Head of Science
Ark St Alban’s Academy is seeking an aspiring curriculum leader for its hugely successful Science Department.
At Ark St Alban’s Academy we are supporting all of our pupils to climb the mountain to university. We believe that success in a university preparatory curriculum is the best way to make sure that all of our pupils can make meaningful choices about their future when they leave us. As such, we teach an academically rigorous curriculum and provide pupils with both the pastoral support and the excellent teaching that they need in order to thrive.
We prioritise a mastery of Science from the beginning of Key Stage Three, where teachers at Ark St Alban’s Academy collaborate with colleagues across Ark Schools in the development of a knowledge rich, trust-wide curriculum. At Key Stage Four, all pupils study combined science, while also having the option to pursue separate sciences if they choose to do so. This success at Key Stage Four has led to science qualifications being our most oversubscribed courses in sixth form, where multiple classes of Biology, Chemistry and Physics run alongside a Level 3 Applied Science BTEC qualification.
Pupils make outstanding progress in science at Ark St Alban’s Academy. We recognise that excellent attainment in Science provides our pupils with access to competitive transformational destinations. As such, the continued success of our science department is central to our mission to prepare all of our pupils for success at university.
The successful candidate will have oversight of the curriculum for whole key stages and/or courses and will lead the professional development and line-management of colleagues teaching in those areas. They will work closely with the Head of Science and senior leadership to promote excellence and enjoyment in the subject. With support, the successful candidate will be able to gain NPQML or other nationally recognised qualification to support and enhance their impact.
