We are looking to appoint a Teacher of Science for September 2021. We are seeking someone who will be ambitious for our students and has a vision for the development of Science in our curriculum. The challenge for the successful applicants will be to contribute to developing further an already strong subject and continue to raise standards at both KS3 and GCSE.
This position would suit an experienced teacher as well as an NQT.
In 2020 the department’s GCSE results were close to national averages with 57% of students gaining two grade 4s or better in Science qualifications. Performance in Triple Science is significantly above the national average with over 55% of students entered achieving grade 7s or better in physics and 66% in Chemistry. The Science department is a leading department across both schools. The Achievement Leader of Science is talented and enthusiastic. He has worked tirelessly, as part of the department, to drive up standards of achievement and attainment. The department was highly praised during the June 2018 Ofsted inspection.
The department comprises of; an Achievement Leader, two Assistant Achievement Leaders, Deputy Headteacher, six main scale teachers, four technicians (one a qualified teacher) and two full time teaching assistants. They are a cohesive team and have a strong command of their subject. Science is really enjoyed by students. The department is housed in five classrooms on the Shakespeare campus and four at the Cherbourg Road campus. All students are taught Science at KS3. At KS4, students in the top sets are entered for Triple Science, with Combined science for all other students. We also offer GCSE Astronomy to students as an optional extra.
