Further details about the role
This role is primarily to teach Science.
We currently have a two-year program at KS3, which develops the ability of students to work independently, explore science and communicate scientifically.
Key stage 4 is taught from year 9. We follow the AQA Trilogy combined science route for the majority of courses and single sciences for our two highest attaining sets. We have produced an alternative curriculum pathway to support less able students and to prepare them for GCSE through the teaching of practical skills, first aid and human biology.
Key Stage 5 offers GCE’s in Biology, Chemistry and Physics which all follow OCR specifications. We also offer BTEC level 3 Applied Science as a vocational route for those who have an interest in pursuing scientific careers.
In addition, a strong second subject is highly desirable to help enhance our curriculum provision.
Other Professional Responsibilities:
• To undertake the role of form tutor, if required to do so, and follow the guidance given by the Head of Year in relation to carrying out this role.
• To undertake supervisory duties before school, at break or after school as required.
• To attend department, year and other school meetings as required.
• To maintain appropriate standards of professional appearance and conduct.
• To follow the school performance management system.
• The post holder is responsible for ensuring that the school safeguarding/child protection policy is adhered to and concerns are raised in accordance with this policy.
Commitment to safeguarding
At St. Crispin’s, we recognise and take extremely seriously our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the wellbeing of all our students. It is essential that a culture of safeguarding is embedded across the school where all young people feel safe and members of our community are able to report concerns that they have.
