What is it like to work as a Teacher of Science at The Holgate Academy?
“I have worked at The Holgate Academy for 22 years as a teacher, STEM coordinator and at present Acting Assistant Head of faculty, where I have been fortunate enough to work in a progressive and forward-thinking science faculty where I have been able to develop my mentoring, teaching and leadership skills. Being able to develop and improve as a teacher has always been a driving force for me and The Holgate Academy provides an excellent CPD programme to enable me to progress and develop.
Our students are the reason that I aim to try and do my very best as a teacher every day. We have some amazing students here at Holgate. The science faculty endeavour to show students that we care about them and we take the time to build positive relationships with the students, which we feel in turn helps to promote the students’ academic growth.
One of the very best things about our Science faculty here at Holgate though is the relationships we have developed with each other. Here, I have made lifelong friends and we are all super supportive of each other. The members of our team are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we approach our jobs with both diligence but also with a sense of humour.Science leaders are supportive and conscientious of workload and we work collaboratively to design lessons to deliver the curriculum.For new staff coming into our faculty, we are welcoming and will try to help you out in any way we can.”Ms T Lord (Assistant Head of Science)
