Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

Endon High School are looking to recruit for a teacher of science to cover a maternity leave for 2 days per week.

The science department vision is that students will gain a broad knowledge of the work of scientists that came before them and explore the world through practical investigation. They will be able to use their knowledge to explain and predict the workings of the natural world.

The delivery of this vision is led by an experienced team of teachers collaborating to produce outstanding lessons and learning experiences for our students. Students are supported in their lessons with individual access to iPads which has opened a range of new possibilities for learning. This has been fully embraced in the science department and enhances our students’ lessons by improving how check for understanding and give effective feedback to students.

Students are taught to the full extent of the curriculum from their first day in year 7 and pushed to be the best they can be. We offer the option to study separate science to students at the end of year 9 and strive to provide opportunity for all that wish to do so. Many students choose study science beyond GCSE as a result of their study at Endon High School and are highly successful when they do so.
