  Our teachers do minimal marking. Why spend ages with a red pen when there are much better ways to give pupils the feedback they need? ; We never ask for lesson plans. Of any kind. Ever. ; Although schemes of work and resources are provided, they are not prescriptive – we cherish individual approaches to delivery. ; There is no pressure to ‘put on a show’ in lessons: A culture of typicality is reinforced by no lesson gradings (outstanding, good, etc). ; Everyone has the highest expectations of behaviour, with all staff (not just teaching staff) reinforcing those expectations. ; A clear system of sanctions is applied consistently so staff don’t have to battle with pupils. ; Senior Leadership are very visible and all staff ‘own’ their corridors. ; CPD is tailored specifically to staff needs, based off their feedback. This includes a fully funded Masters programme available to everyone. ; There are no prizes for looking busy or staying late – we work in a way that suits us we make sure you make time for ourselves and our families. ; That’s just 9 of the things we do to secure our teachers’ well-being.

Whether you’re an NQT or you have been teaching Science for decades, to really inspire the next generation of scientists you need an environment with the right conditions. You need an environment where pupils genuinely want to learn. An environment in which your colleagues are as geeky about your subject as you are. Whatever your level of experience in the classroom, it’s your passion for your subject that counts. We prize love of learning above all else. We need a talented teacher of Science who has the passion to provide pupils with the best possible experience of this fascinating subject. Could it be you? Our teachers work very hard but they only ever do work which is going to make a difference for our pupils. Quite simply, we believe in common sense approaches to everything. We urge you to visit us.

The word ‘outstanding’ appears a lot in advertisements for teachers – but at Barr Beacon School, it means more. With over 1000 requests for the 252 places available in Year 7 this September, parents would certainly agree. When Ofsted last visited, they merely confirmed what we already knew.
