Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to apppoint a dynamic and innovative Teacher of Science to commence employment 1st September 2026.

This ensures that our staff have the time to carry out their role to the highest possible standard, whilst having a genuine work-life balance.

As a team, we have consistently delivered strong academic outcomes by offering a curriculum that has a rich foundation in scientific thinking and problem-solving, hands-on learning experiences that connect science to real-world situations and a collaborative, supportive team culture where staff are valued and encouraged to develop professionally. We are always open to new ideas and improving our approach. This role would suit someone who is looking to balance high academic expectations with a desire to foster a love of Science.
Working in close partnership with members of the Science department, the post holder is required to develop and implement well-structured, engaging lessons, share best practices and resources and actively participate in departmental meetings and professional development.
