We are looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and ambitious teacher who can bring Science to life through engaging teaching, practical investigation and a genuine passion for discovery. Our Science curriculum develops scientifically literate young people who can understand and engage with the world around them, while encouraging students to pursue Science at GCSE, Sixth Form and beyond.
