Deputy Head of Science job summary

Curriculum, Staffing and Resources

The Science Department consists of 15 teachers and 5 technicians in 10 well equipped laboratories. Our department vision is for our young people to think and behave like scientists, and we foster these traits through a well-planned curriculum based on the Activate course (OUP) at KS3 and AQA Combined Science (Trilogy)/Separate Sciences Course (OUP) at KS4, both of which follow the National Curriculum. We have a good uptake in A-level in Biology, Chemistry and Physics in KS5 and the plan to start delivering one of the new level 3 alternative Academic Qualifications (AAQ) from September 2025.

Our friendly department prioritises CPD for all our staff which includes the mentoring of student teachers and ECTs each year. Staff with more experience regularly progress to take on leadership responsibilities within the department or in pastoral roles across the school.

Pastoral Role

All staff are involved in the tutorial system, most as tutors with tutor groups. This is an important part of our work.

We are committed to the delivery of Personal Social Health Citizenship & Economic Education (PSHCEe) which all teachers as tutors are expected to teach. As part of a whole-school approach, PSHCEe develops the qualities and attributes students need to thrive both as individuals and members of society. We have a high-quality provision of PSHCEe at Park High which has been recognised nationally.

Extensive support and CPD is provided for practitioners of the subject. Teaching this subject provides an invaluable opportunity to further develop your pastoral provision as a tutor, in addition to growing professionally by participating in the delivery of our outstanding provision.
