What skills and experience we're looking for
A rare opportunity has arisen for a well-qualified, enthusiastic chemistry specialist to take a leadership role in our outstanding, high-achieving school. All students study biology, chemistry and physics as separate sciences at GCSE and chemistry is a very popular A-level choice at NGHS with over a third of the sixth form studying the course.
The faculty is experienced and welcoming with dedicated Technician support. The Head of Faculty leads on physics with another colleague holding a TLR responsibility for biology.
This post provides an excellent first step for someone contemplating a leadership post in our science faculty. The post would also suit a colleague who is already in charge of chemistry in their school; be that comprehensive or selective. Strong A-level teaching experience with outcomes in A*-B range is a key requirement of the role, however. The current postholder was appointed after 20+ years in another school and we value colleagues' experience, but we are also keen to hear from colleagues at an earlier stage in their career, who may be open to further promotion opportunities in the next few years.
What the school offers its staff
