The Role
Fernhill School is seeking to appoint an innovative, dynamic and highly motivated Science teacher. You will be joining a cohesive, hardworking and supportive team of teachers. The successful candidate will be an excellent practitioner and a strong team player with a keen interest in developing pedagogical practices.

All three disciplines of Science are taught in KS3. At KS4 students study Combined Science for GCSE, with Triple Science being reintroduced in 2023. This is an exciting time in the development of the science curriculum that runs as a progressive curriculum from Year 7 to Year 11.

Due to the development of science, there is a possibility for an additional responsibility with remuneration for a suitably qualified candidate.

We are seeking a candidate who will be ambitious for our students.
