What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a talented and dedicated teacher to join our committed team. Our Science department goes from strength to strength. Our shared expectations are high and students value the subject meaning they enjoy their learning; they make us proud every day. We are keen to hear from enthusiastic and ambitious teachers, passionate about their subject and who can clearly see why it has a critical part to play in the curriculum. The length of your experience as a teacher is less important to us than your ability to motivate and inspire. Our new colleague will have an unstinting belief that every young person, whatever their starting point, can make and sustain exceptional progress and that our purpose is to change lives. We are excited to receive applications from newly qualified teachers ready to start a brilliant new career with us and take advantage of our bespoke approach to professional induction just as much as more experienced colleagues looking for their next step. We are flexible and committed to appointing the right person for our students and therefore would consider what else the right candidate could bring to our ambitious learning community. You will have access to on-going development opportunities and the support of a forward thinking, successful multi-academy trust. You will be joining a well-led, supportive and cohesive team of professionals who will do whatever it takes to help you to succeed in your new and exciting role.

Education can transform people’s lives and at Welling School I am absolutely determined that the students who attend our school will be given the very best opportunities to excel. Our new vision is to educate outward-looking learners who will thrive in their own lives and contribute to making the world a better place.
This means that we firmly believe that the purpose of education is twofold. We want all our learners to achieve academic success and have access to a varied co-curricular syllabus in order for them to complete their educational journey. Students can only achieve this if they feel happy and are provided with a caring environment in which the talents of different individuals are respected and encouraged to flourish. Our educational philosophy is focused around the values we want all our students to acquire before taking their place in the adult world. This is why we strive for:
Students who are ambitious
Students who are kind
Students who are active
In summary, an education is so much more than just good examination results. We aim to support and inspire all our learners, irrespective of ability, to be the best they can be in every single way. Learners at Welling School also benefit from outstanding facilities. In 2005 the school was rebuilt and the school continues to make improvements. This summer the practical food rooms were renovated. Our other excellent facilities include: specialist classrooms; sports hall; all-weather sports pitch; dance studio, drama studios, Apple Mac computer rooms, recording studio, art gallery, library and a designated 6th Form Centre.
