What skills and experience we're looking for
Endon High School are looking to recruit for a teacher of science to cover a maternity leave for 2 days per week.
The science department vision is that students will gain a broad knowledge of the work of scientists that came before them and explore the world through practical investigation. They will be able to use their knowledge to explain and predict the workings of the natural world.
The delivery of this vision is led by an experienced team of teachers collaborating to produce outstanding lessons and learning experiences for our students. Students are supported in their lessons with individual access to iPads which has opened a range of new possibilities for learning. This has been fully embraced in the science department and enhances our students’ lessons by improving how check for understanding and give effective feedback to students.
Students are taught to the full extent of the curriculum from their first day in year 7 and pushed to be the best they can be. We offer the option to study separate science to students at the end of year 9 and strive to provide opportunity for all that wish to do so. Many students choose study science beyond GCSE as a result of their study at Endon High School and are highly successful when they do so.

Our school is a relatively small 11-16 comprehensive on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent, located about half-way between the Potteries and the market town of Leek.
Our 700 pupils are representative of the area: some are from rural, farming families and others opt in from the nearby Stoke suburbs.
We are a true comprehensive, welcoming pupils from the full ability, social and economic ranges. We are also fully inclusive regarding pupils with physical disabilities, and are very aware that we all benefit from working together.
Endon High is significantly popular with parents who would like their children to enjoy the many positive features of our school. The school is fairly small in size, and for this reason every year large numbers of parents are disappointed in their hopes of a place here.
Our academic standards are generally high, comparing well with both national and county averages. However, we believe that education is not merely about examination results, and we are committed to a broad and balanced experience generally. We provide a rich range of residential activities, trips and visits, opportunities for performance through concerts and shows, for achievement through sport, and for citizenship through involvement in a wide range of community-based and service activities.
We strongly believe that the school is a community which succeeds through partnership between pupils, teachers and parents, and that the strength of our school lies in its staff - teaching and non-teaching - who are true professionals, and (what's more) seem positively to enjoy the company of the young people in our care!
We are proud of our pupils and are delighted to celebrate their successes and good qualities whenever possible: their strengths are the school's strengths.
We hope you enjoy looking at our web-site and finding out more about the work of the School.
