New Rickstones Academy is graded 'Good' (May 2018) and has a state of the art building offering fantastic facilities for both students and staff. A second new building opened in September 2022 providing additional technology, science, IT and general teaching rooms. From September, our PAN increased from 180 to 240 and we are now oversubscribed. Science is a vital part of our curriculum at Key Stage 3, 4 and 5 and we are the only Sixth Form provider in Witham.
Every member of staff is a vital part of our committed and ambitious team and we have been very successful at developing teachers and leaders with progression both within, and beyond the academy.
Our "Curriculum Drivers" run through all that we do as we encourage students to be safe, happy, the best they can be, and be proud.
Mastery: delivering excellent teaching & learning and developing excellent learners. Students are ambitious and committed.
Character: developing students into well rounded young people who we can be confident in to "do the right thing when no-one is looking".
Perspective: how our students fit into the world around them, how they appropriately challenge wrongs, and promote what is right. Students are open minded, compassionate and recognise the differences found in all of us.
We are looking for a Teacher of Science with either a Physics or Chemistry specialism to join us. If you are driven, and passionate about Science, then we want to hear from you!
