What the school offers its staff
THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
The Science Department is a well organised and mutually supportive team of enthusiastic teaching staff and 2 very efficient technicians. All lessons are taught in our 8 modern, fully-equipped laboratories, two labs have access to a trolley of laptops and there are ICT rooms available through a school centralised booking system.
At Key Stage 3, students in Years 7 and 8 are taught in mixed ability groups, by one teacher. The Key Stage 3 curriculum prepares students for Key Stage 4, where the students study the AQA Science suite of qualifications. In Year 9 students start the GCSE content, which is common to both combined and separate science, and are taught by teachers in their specialisms. At the end of Year 9 students opt for Separate or Combined Science in Year 10, where they are set by ability. Throughout the course, emphasis is put on practical work to develop the student’s confidence in ‘working scientifically’.
The department has strong links with the school’s SEND team and selected pupils receive extensive help in terms of class support. We constantly strive to adapt our teaching styles to accommodate all students.
Our students are enthusiastic and inquisitive scientists and perform well compared to their target grades, with many continuing to study Science through to ‘A’-level at post-16. Their achievements reflect the positive relationships between staff and students, and the high quality teaching and learning in the department. We have strong links with our local primary school, where our Science Ambassadors (from Year 8 and 9) deliver practical science sessions.
We are looking to appoint a member of our team who will continue to build on our positive relationships and encourage our students to question the world around them.
Commitment to safeguarding
Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment. Our recruitment process follows the keeping children safe in education guidance. Offers of employment may be subject to the following checks (where relevant): childcare disqualification Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) medical online and social media prohibition from teaching right to work satisfactory references suitability to work with children You must tell us about any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.
