“Expectationsare high for every pupil and sixth-form student, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are becoming motivated and resilient learners who show pride in their achievements. Importantly, pupils say that they now enjoy their learning.” (Ofsted, 2025)
We are in a fortunate and exciting position where we look to grow our science department in order to provide more opportunity for separate sciences. This is a new post and we’re particularly interested to hear from colleagues who have a specialism or experience in teaching physics.
