Further details about the role
The Science team is made up of 12 Science teachers who teach across Biology, Chemistry and Physics at KS3 and KS4. The Science faculty is accommodated in ten laboratories that have recently been refurbished. We work together, as a team, to give our students the powerful scientific knowledge they need for successful lives. We aim to encourage a love of science in our students; we want them to have a sense of wonder, curiosity and understanding about how the world and universe work. We endeavour to use evidence-based pedagogy to achieve the best learning for all our students.
At KS4, approximately 40% of our students study separate Sciences from the start of Y10, and the remaining cohort study combined Science following the AQA specification. At KS5, students study Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Applied Science following the Edexcel specification.
