Teacher of Science job summary

Science Department

The Science department currently comprises of a Head of Science Faculty, a second in Science and a further 5 science specialists, including the Deputy Head. The department comprises of 6 science labs, three which are specialist subject labs and three general science labs. The labs are serviced by two full time lab technicians. Science results at GCSE have been consistently high with more than a third of the cohort achieving grades 7-9 in the AQA courses. We are looking for a candidate who can continue and improve on this high attainment with dynamism and enthusiasm to inspire and motivate across the ability range.

KS3: Year 7 are taught in tutor groups with year 8 and 9 in sets according to ability. The scheme of work follows the AQA KS3 Mastery syllabus and offers a variety of teaching and learning experiences, engaging students in the subject. Staff will teach across all subject specialisms at KS3. There is an emphasis on active and engaged learning – a key aim is for students to develop their skills so they can think and plan for themselves.

KS4: Students begin the KS4 curriculum after Christmas of year 9. Towards the end of year 9 students are invited onto one of two Science pathways to follow the new AQA Trilogy Science option or enter for three separate Sciences. Uptake for separate Science is high. Students are taught by subject specialists and the emphasis on all learning is application of key ideas and learning through practical work. Practical work plays a key role in the progress and learning of students and is evident in nearly all lessons.
