We are a team of 18 highly driven, dedicated, supportive and passionate Science teachers supported by 4 skilled Science technicians.

Our Science curriculum intent is driven by the whole school intent and is both ambitious and innovative, inspiring all students to excellence.

From the beginning of year 7 our students follow a progression model based upon the whole learning journey. Science lessons are exciting, thought-provoking, differentiated and inclusive, where we aim to create a sense of awe and wonder. We provide every student with opportunities for creativity, collaboration, independence, challenge, problem solving; a platform that encourages them to think logically and develop their verbal and written communication skills.

We believe in equipping students with the skills and guidance for future education and employment, encouraging them to embrace diversity and develop literacy skills through creative writing and reading for purpose.

As a Teacher of Science, you should be able to teach science across all ability ranges across KS 3-4. The ability to teach KS5 would be advantageous, but not essential.
