What skills and experience we're looking for

Governors hope to appoint someone who will:

Love and care for our children as much as they would their own;

Be, or have the potential to be, in every sense a great teacher;

Be enthusiastic, resourceful and keen to ensure that the highest possible standards of pupil achievement, personal development and well-being are achieved;

Have high expectations of both themselves and those they work with;

Be able to lead and inspire colleagues to continuously improve;

Always be willing to go the extra mile for our children.

What the school offers its staff

The department consists of seven experienced teaching specialists – most of whom have been with us several years - and two fantastic laboratory technicians. The Curriculum Leader is supported by a Lead Teacher. There are six dedicated laboratories which each have interactive screens or whiteboards and are all connected to the school network providing access to shared resources and internet. The whole department, including staff workspaces, and prep areas, have benefited from an extensive programme of remodelling and refurbishment costing in excess of £500,000.

This is an exciting time to join team, with the recruitment of a new Head of Department twelve months ago, a transformation in the delivery of the curriculum has begun, ensuring that our teaching methods remain innovative and effective. There is a strong sense of collaboration among members of the Science team, encouraging teamwork and the sharing of resources and best practice to enhance the learning experience for our students and ensure that each one of them achieves his or her potential. Our new colleague will receive all the support and encouragement necessary to make a difference to our pupils and develop professionally for the next stage of his/her career.

Further details about the role

We are an ambitious school and want the very best for the youngsters in our care. First and foremost we are looking for a great Teacher of Science, or someone with the potential to become one; for that reason, we welcome applications from ECTs and more experienced candidates. For a colleague new to teaching, we have a perfect track record of supporting newly qualified teachers through their NQT/ECT programmes. For a more experienced colleague, this position offers a fantastic opportunity for someone who is already a great classroom teacher to take the next step and enjoy some leadership responsibility. As said, we are a school committed to the wellbeing of our staff, we are always keen to accommodate flexible working requests, and have numerous part-time teaching colleagues, each of whom is equally valued as their full-time counterparts. This position is a great opportunity if you find yourself wanting part-time work but in a setting that is unable to accommodate it.

Our children deserve the best, and so Governors would be delighted to offer a temporary TLR, for up to three years, to an exceptional candidate with appropriate experience. If you feel that your application falls into this category, Governors will be happy to discuss this at interview, along with what your additional responsibility might include.
