This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be part of starting an exceptional comprehensive school. As second in charge of science for The Swan’s team, you will help to build the foundations of an outstanding school from the ground up. In this role you will work with the Head of Faculty to develop the subject area, which will include enhancement of the existing KS3 curriculum, preparation for GCSE, and the planning and delivery of all three sciences at A-Level.
