School 21 is one of the most exciting schools in the country, pioneering a range of powerful approaches to the curriculum and teaching. This is a great time to join a science department that teaches science from 4 to 18 and combines discrete science lessons with rich STEM projects. Whether you are teaching sixth form chemistry, or developing deep thinking in our secondary school, School 21 is a place where there is a rich and exciting mix of ideas about the best pedagogies and curriculum. Ideally, you will be an experienced A-level and GCSE chemistry teacher and it is essential that you have a passion for developing the best pedagogies for that age range.
Science comes alive at School 21 as students grapple with the big ideas that underpin the world around us. Teachers plan challenging and exciting projects, develop thinking skills to a high level and foster collaborations with other subjects across the curriculum.
School 21 is a very special and different kind of place to work in. We empower staff to find their voice and their creativity. We offer collaboration and learning across ages and subjects. All staff have a tailored programme of professional development and we offer multiple routes to progression through subjects and pedagogies. We believe strongly in developing the full potential of all staff.
Our aim in the sixth form will be for students to achieve the strongest possible academic results so that they can go on to university or other pathways they want to explore. We also want students to be stretched beyond the A-level course and to have the opportunity to experience science at the cutting edge of discovery. You will work alongside the other science teachers in an inspirational department to develop the curriculum and schemes of work. You will analyse student data to identify underachievement and develop intervention strategies to ensure all students make outstanding progress.
The successful candidate will be:
● An excellent teacher and subject specialist
● Have experience of teaching Chemistry at A-Level
● Skilled at fostering independent, student-led learning
● A creative and deep thinker about pedagogy
● Innovative in using new technology to enhance learning
● A collaborative planner, able to work across subject disciplines
● Interested in developing the growth of every child – head, heart and hand
WE OFFER:
● Outstanding career development and exceptional CPD
● The chance to network with outstanding practitioners and learn from the best
● Collaborative working across the 4 to 18 school
● Leadership training and development opportunities
● A strong feedback culture so that teachers can develop in areas of their practice that are important to them
● Every teacher being part of a team/circle that develops strategic practice
