What the school offers its staff
The Science Department
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the post of full or part time Teacher of Science, with effect from April/September 2025. We are looking for a dynamic and inspired Teacher who has a genuine passion for their subject. We would very much welcome applications from ECT’s or experienced staff.
We have high aspirations for this key subject and work effectively as a team to provide the best education possible for our students. The Science team consist of seven full-time, three part time teaching staff and two technicians. We have well-appointed laboratories – 5 of which have been fully refurbished over the last two years, along with a dedicated IT suite.
On entry to the College, Year 7 students are placed in sets using a baseline assessment which takes place in the first few weeks. Students remain in sets throughout Key Stages 3 and 4, typically split across three bands. Our Most Able students are identified and given the opportunity to develop their abilities through an optional Triple Science pathway and multiple enrichment events. The College prides itself on the support provided to students with learning and physical difficulties and science is no exception. We have a range of specialist Learning Support Assistants who work alongside Teachers to support individual learning needs.
A variety of teaching resources and methods are used across the age range with the emphasis being on practical enquiry skills and interactive, real world, teaching. We operate a month-long Science Fair competition for Year 8. In Year 9 our students move onto the AQA Double Science GCSE (AQA Trilogy) at the start of the spring term and can chose the triple pathway in the summer.
If you are a highly successful and capable classroom practitioner, with aspiration and ambition, we have the skills and experience to help you further your career. Continued professional development of staff is seen as an important facet of the College and many staff move on to promotional positions. Staff new to the College are expected to take part in a comprehensive induction programme designed to foster the common ideals of the College’s ethos and practices. Specifically in Science this has previously involved working alongside the Institute of Physics and The Royal Society of Chemistry.
All applications will be processed upon receipt.
