What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, inspirational and highly motivated teacher to join our dedicated team of Science teachers. You will be joining a large and friendly department with a mutually supportive ethos, and an ideal mixture of youth and experience. This has led to the department being highly successful and well-resourced, allowing teachers to focus on developing their classroom practice. Our priority is improving teaching and learning, with a focus on developing the independence of pupils in their approach to work.
We have a thriving Sixth form with large numbers at AS and A2 in all of the traditional science disciplines, alongside more vocational courses. Currently there are over 120 students studying an A Level Science subject.
Our school is highly successful and oversubscribed, with EBacc entries well above the national average, and successful results for students, whether they are disadvantaged, SEND or Gifted and Talented. We value the development of the whole child, and encourage students to take part in a wide range of co-curricular activities. Outdoor education is very popular with our students, and we usually have a large proportion of Y10 participating in the Bronze DofE award, with many progressing to the higher awards. We also run a range of trips each year, both abroad and in the UK, culminating in a popular 'activities week' at the end of the year.
Successful applicants will:
• Have a deep passion and enthusiasm for their subject
• Be committed to exceptional standards of teaching and learning
• Be able to motivate, challenge and inspire students to achieve their best
• Establish and develop excellent relationships with students and staff
• Be tenacious in their commitment to maintaining outstanding results in the Science department
• Contribute to our core vision and values
