Teacher of Science job summary

The Market Bosworth School is incredibly successful; a fantastic place to teach and learn. Science, in particular, plays a huge part in that success. This post is an ideal opportunity for an outstanding teacher to join our dynamic and enthusiastic team. The successful candidate will be joining us at an exciting stage in our development, as our Science department build on our consistently outstanding Science GCSE results of the last 4 years.

During their time at The Market Bosworth School, students have seven Science lessons across their two-week timetable at KS3. For KS4 this is increased to 10 lessons each fortnight. Currently, students are taught in mixed ability tutor groups in year 7 until Christmas where they are streamed into ability based groups for the remainder of KS3. Approximately a third of our students are selected for AQA “separate” Sciences, the remainder all follow AQA Combined Science (Trilogy). The department consists of seven dedicated teachers and one laboratory technician, who share and provide innovative and engaging lessons. The department prides itself on making Science fun and students enjoy going to their lessons. There are four well equipped laboratories and three Science classrooms, which have been refurbished recently. There is also a small Science garden, a greenhouse and immediate access to the school’s field which is set in rural surroundings.

The department has regular access to one of 6 ICT rooms each with a complement of 25 or more computers, or class sets of Google chromebooks, which the department use to enrich the delivery of the curriculum. The department is currently in the process of revamping the KS3 curriculum to ensure that students are prepared for the rigour of GCSEs.

Commitment to safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The recruitment process is robust in seeking to establish the commitment of candidates to support the school’s measures to safeguard children and to identify, deter or reject people who might pose a risk of harm to children or are otherwise unsuited to work with them. An enhanced DBS with a Barred list check is essential. It is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children (KCSIE 2023).
