Science Teacher (Mat Cover) job summary

Curriculum, staffing and resources

The Science Department consists of 15 teachers and 5 technicians in 10 well equipped laboratories. Our department vision is for our young people to think and behave like scientists, and we foster these traits through a well-planned curriculum based on the Activate course (OUP) at KS3 and AQA Combined Science (Trilogy)/Separate Sciences Course (OUP) at KS4, both of which follow the National Curriculum. We have a good uptake in A-level in Biology, Chemistry and Physics in KS5 and the plan to start delivering one of the new level 3 alternative Academic Qualifications (AAQ) from September 2025.

Our friendly department prioritises CPD for all our staff which includes the mentoring of student teachers and ECTs each year. Staff with more experience regularly progress to take on leadership responsibilities within the department or in pastoral roles across the school.
