What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and well qualified teacher of Science. We are looking for an excellent classroom practitioner who is driven to raising achievement and promoting high expectations of our pupils. The successful candidate would be expected to teach a range of classes across KS3 & KS4.

While this role is initially offered as maternity cover, the opportunity for a permanent position may arise depending on the continued growth and future needs of the school, as the school has experienced significant and continuing growth over a number of years.

This post is suitable for ECTs and experienced teachers. The post is initially offered as a full 12-month contract. A physics specialism would be advantageous, however there is sufficient expertise and flexibility in the department to allow all specialisms to apply with equality of opportunity.
