1.0 FTE fixed term maternity contract anticipated to run until May 2022.

Closing date for applications: 12:00pm, Monday 18th October 2021.

Hadrian Learning Trust wishes to appoint a teacher of biology. As a teacher of biology, you will have the opportunity to teach biology at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. The subject is popular in Sixth Form with large numbers opting for biology or applied biology. The results in the subject are excellent and you would be joining a warm, welcoming, science department of experienced practitioners. We are also moving to a brand new school building with state of the art science facilities. This is an exciting time for the trust.

Both Queen Elizabeth High School and Hexham Middle School are friendly, welcoming, successful, mixed comprehensives with a proud history dating back to Elizabethan times. Our ‘outstanding eagerness to promote good learning’ is drawn directly from the original charter granted to the people of Hexham in 1599 to educate the town’s young people. It forms the basis of our ethos today, which centres on our belief in the highest academic standards for everyone and our valuing of education in its broadest sense. There is much that is already very good at our schools: confident, well-behaved learners, dedicated, loyal staff and supportive parents. Your mission, should you apply and be successful, is to help make us even better.

We would welcome applications from NQTs and those more experienced professionals.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. An enhanced DBS check will be required for this post.

Hadrian Learning Trust was established as an academy converter in 2016. The Trust currently comprises Queen Elizabeth High School and Hexham Middle School. Queen Elizabeth High School (QE) is a high-performing 13–18 comprehensive school whose origins date back to 1599. It is situated in the historic market town of Hexham, in a beautiful part of Northumberland, a short drive from Newcastle and Carlisle. With just over 1,300 students on roll, it is a popular and successful school, with a particularly strong sixth form. As well as attracting students from Hexham and its rural hinterland, about a third of students come from outside the catchment area. The school values its reputation as a warm, friendly, welcoming school, and relationships amongst staff and students are excellent. We benefit from a fantastic working and learning environment with first-class facilities following a move into brand new buildings in 2021, adjacent to our front-facing Grade II listed Hydro building, which was refurbished. QE shares its location with Hexham Middle School, with which it has a very close working relationship. Both schools have their own distinct identities but work in tandem to enable some sharing of facilities, teaching and subject leadership. Cross-trust collaboration is overseen by an executive team comprising the Trust’s executive lead, the schools’ headteachers, the Chief Financial Officer and the Business & HR Manager.
