What skills and experience we're looking for

We seek to appoint an effective and enthusiastic Teacher of Science 1 x permanent post and 1 x temporary to cover maternity leave who will join our team.

We are a friendly, supportive department made up of 9.6 teaching staff, who teach in nine fully equipped rooms all of which have interactive Whiteboards. We have a dedicated ICT room for the use of the Science department.

We also have a Science staffroom with ICT facilities and three fully stocked prep rooms. Seven labs and computer suite are housed in the science block. There are two superb lab technicians and a great Academic Mentor.

The Science department is an ideal place for a newly qualified teacher. We have taken on a Newly qualified teacher in 5 of the last 6 years, all have developed well and some have decided to move on to further promotion. All other staff have many years of teaching experience in the school, with the time to support and wisdom to advise you.

We truly believe that every child matters and we push to get the best out of each student. Not all of our pupils have access to the same resources or opportunities outside of the school gates: we want to look and learn new ways to encourage learning and revision.

We are passionate about the young people in our care and we have high expectations for each and every student. Our curriculum is rich, engaging and challenging, using high quality resources to develop students emotionally, culturally, socially and spiritually. Evidence-based teaching is at the heart of our pedagogy thus ensuring quality first teaching and learning occurs in all lessons.

You will monitor and support the overall progress and development of students as a Teacher/ Form Tutor and will facilitate and encourage a learning experience.
