Teacher of Physics (TLR to Lead Physics)

Are you a committed, ambitious, and outstanding teacher of science? Outwood Academy Adwick could be the Academy you are looking for! This is a fantastic opportunity for a well-qualified, driven professional, who is an outstanding classroom practitioner, to join our Family of Schools. 

We are committed to putting ‘Students First: Raising Standards and Transforming Lives’. To be successful, you must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’. 

Working alongside a fantastic team, you’ll help us to continue to achieve the highest possible outcomes for students - irrespective of their backgrounds or starting points. The ability to teach Physics A Level and GCSE Physics to high ability students would be advantageous. 

A permanent TLR is available for the right candidate.

The Outwood Grange Family of Schools offers:

• The opportunity to work and progress across the Family of Schools.

• The chance to apply for leadership roles in the Deeps working across the whole Academy.

• The support and expertise of our Directors of Science working across the Family of Schools.

• A full and detailed programme of support and development for all.

• A further comprehensive programme of professional development provided through the Outwood Institute of Education (formerly the Teaching School).

The department has made huge strides in the last 12-15 months, whereby they achieved record results in 2018-19 with a Science progress score of +0.12. Attainment at 44+ and 55+ rose by over 20% from the previous year and above the national average for both measures, whilst our Separate Science students achieved 100% 444+ and 95% 555+, again the highest results in the Academy’s history. 

Furthermore, our Post-16 numbers have seen record numbers within our A Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics options and next year we hope to expand our suite of subjects offered at Post-16 from 3 A Levels to a total of 6 A Levels/Vocational courses. Hence this is a critical appointment for the Academy and is an exciting opportunity for you to join our expanding department.

We warmly welcome and encourage potential applicants to visit the Academy. Should you wish to discuss the role further or visit the academy, please contact Aalok Kanwar, Associate Director of Science, by email: a.kanwar@outwood.com
