What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint an exceptional teacher of Science. The successful candidate must be a talented teacher who can convey their passion for their specialism to our students, which in turn will foster their love of the subject.
This post is suitable for an ECT or experienced teacher. We are well staffed and are happy to meet Chemists, Biologists or Physicists.
If you were to be appointed, you will join a team of highly-skilled practitioners, who are all qualified graduates in their fields. As a successful teacher, you must be a team player at heart. You will need to be focussed, resilient and good-humoured, and have proven success in teaching and learning at Key Stages 3 and 4.
The Science Learning Area achieve strong results by working collaboratively, learning from each other and receiving bespoke training so that they are constantly improving their subject pedagogy. Whatever your current position, we will provide tailored CPD to challenge, grow, equip
and prepare you for the next phase of your career. In an educational landscape where change is constant, we attempt to keep the ‘main thing the main thing’, addressing practice and behaviours which will make a difference in a strategic, time-efficient manner.
As an Academy, we seek to embrace new methodologies whilst maintaining a balance with traditional practice, to bring about examination success. All students at Key Stage 3 and 4 have a 1:1 mobile device; this is an example of our commitment to use modern technology to maximise learning. Recent development of the site has enhanced the resources available to staff and students, which includes an Immersive Classroom space.
If you were to be successful in your application, you would be joining an Academy which strives for excellence. We benefit from purpose-built accommodation with excellent facilities.
All in all, it is a wonderful place to work, learn and worship. Our vision is ‘Lord Direct us to Live Life to the Full’, rooted in John 10:10. Whilst Learning, we are Inspired and develop our Values through Experiences as each member flourishes. We aim to raise aspirations, realise potential and develop well-rounded successful teachers and young people.
