Head of Biology job summary
We are looking for a passionate Head of Biology, eager to grow as a leader. Your lessons will not only engage and inspire students but also provide opportunities to lead or contribute to science initiatives, extracurricular projects, and departmental strategy. In the classroom, you will foster an environment that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. As part of our dynamic science team, you will play a key role in its development, mentor early career teachers, and contribute to the school's ongoing improvement plan.
As a member of our school you can expect a wealth of benefits from access to excellent CPD, work/life support and 3 weeks break at Christmas. We have exceptional transport links via train, bus and underground, free gym access and a welcoming community.
At Pinner High School, our pedagogical approach is based on the principles of Rosenshine. All our lessons begin with a do now activity, aimed at recalling knowledge. In addition, a high proportion of students are categorised as higher ability, we therefore expect appropriate challenge in learning. Learning episodes contain challenge tasks in addition to main activities which support the progression of all students. Students often use green pens to self assess work and teachers use expert subject knowledge for assessment for learning.
Cultivate curiosity. Inspire passion. Pave the path!
