What skills and experience we're looking for
The postholder will teach Science across the age and ability range. The person appointed would be responsible to the Head of Science. We have a good balance of specialists on the team and want to maintain an excellent tradition of specialist teaching for the separate sciences.
Science has a very high profile at Chew Valley School. A level teaching is a particularly important part of our teaching and many of our sixth formers go on to study Science at Russell Group Universities. The department makes a significant contribution to STEM education and there are many opportunities provided for linking education in science to practical applications in the world of work and research.
The department is an extremely friendly one with a range of experience and expertise, supported by a dedicated Lab Assistant team. Whether an NQT or an experienced teacher, you will receive a warm welcome and excellent support within the department and from the school as a whole.

The school has a distinctive character and ethos which is unashamedly child-centred and emotionally intelligent in the way relationships are managed between staff, parents, students and governors. The school has a House system at the heart of its culture with vertical tutoring as a key facilitator. There are four houses - Bilbie, Hauteville, Moreton and Rodney.
