Teacher of Science job summary
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Teacher of Science on a permanent basis from April or September 2025. This is a full-time position, however applications for a job share will also be considered.
This is an exciting opportunity either to start your teaching career or to develop as a teacher, in a supportive environment, within a Trust that values its staff and recognises the importance of providing ongoing training opportunities for further development.
The successful candidate will have the ability to inspire and motivate with a passion for teaching and learning. We’re looking for someone who can be an exceptional team player and who enjoys supporting and working collaboratively with others and can share our vision to deliver outstanding education for children and young adults with the commitment to make a difference to outcomes and achievements of all our students.
The Science department at Hampton College strive to make science accessible and enjoyable to all students. Discussion of our work and a collaborative approach is most important to us and we are constantly reviewing, developing and refining our teaching strategies.
Our schemes of work, at Key Stage 3, have been updated to follow the AQA 5-year plan in order to best support progress through the students’ time in the college; these were originally written with support from the Spectrum resources and undergo a continuous cycle of reflection and improvement. We place a large emphasis on practical work and the development of investigative skills in our lessons and the department is equipped for this purpose. ICT is regularly used to enhance learning; this will be developed further as we incorporate more activities that involve using our extensive range of data logging equipment.
Students are currently taught in mixed-ability groups in Years 7, 8 and 9. The timetable offers some flexibility in the way in which we group students, and we regularly review this.
As Key Stage 4, we are currently following courses offered in the AQA Science suite; our schemes of work have been developed from resources published by OUP and AQA. About one third of the year groups follow the separate sciences route with the rest following combined science (trilogy). We are constantly reviewing our GCSE offer to ensure we serve both the needs of our students and of the measures reported in the league tables.
Success at KS4 means that the Sciences are very popular A level choices. We follow the OCR in Biology and Chemistry, and AQA in Physics. We also deliver the Level 3 OCR Technical Extended Certificate in Applied Science course.
If you would like to arrange a visit to the school please don't hesitate to contact a member of the HR Team on 01733 246824 or via email at HR@hamptonacademiestrust.org.uk.
Please note that we reserve the right to interview and appoint prior to the closing date.
