Job overview
TEACHER OF SCIENCE
Salary: MPS
Location: Charlton School
Contract type: FULL-TIME
Charlton is a popular 11-16 co-operative school. We were very excited to move into our new school building in June 2016. We believe in progress through partnership with learning at the heart of all we do. We are a school who have a caring and disciplined environment, combining a degree of formality with good relationships between adults and students
Wellington is a busy market town, rapidly improving facilities and new housing being built nearby the school. From its central position, Wellington is easily reached by rail and has a large train station in the town. It is close to Shrewsbury and the famous Ironbridge, which is an area of local beauty and historical interest and one of the best in Shropshire!
To support us with our future development and our desire to rapidly be classified by Ofsted as a good school again, we will shortly convert to an academy within a select MAT. We believe this will be ideal for us, as we have similar vision and values. We will work in partnership towards a shared vision that places students’ learning, environments and local communities at the centre of our approach.
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a teacher to join our successful Science department, supporting the further development of an innovative curriculum for all, with purposeful, contextual learning and high expectations for students forming a major part of our passion for learning.
As a member of our team you will focus on ensuring the progress of every child by developing their scientific skills, knowledge and understanding within an exciting and relevant curriculum.
Our Science department has an excellent team spirit where collaboration, cooperation and the sharing of best practice are key, as is hard work within a supportive team. Learning is at the heart of all they do and they aim to provide students with outstanding opportunities, especially since we moved into our brand new, purpose-built school in 2016.
We are looking for a teacher who is enthusiastic about their subject, someone who can inspire the children in their care to be passionate about this core subject and all this can offer them.
The position will ideally start Easter 2018, however we will also consider applications for a September 2018 start. Our school is an equal opportunity employer, so we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children and individuals. This post is subject to a DBS Enhanced Disclosure.
We welcome applications from NQTs
If you have a passion for teaching, we would love to hear from you!
Closing date for applications: 9th February 2018
Interviews: Tuesday 13th February 2018

“Students enjoy coming to school and parents agree that their children are happy in school.” (Ofsted 2015)
As Principal I have a deep rooted passion for education and firmly believe that teaching is one of the most rewarding and important vocations. No other job allows you to touch the lives of so many, inspire a generation and shape the future for young people.
With the job of Principal comes great responsibility; it is my aim to provide the best possible education for all students at Charlton.
To provide the students not only with the academic results needed for progression but also the personal, interpersonal and life skills to enable them to be successful in the future.
We wish for Charlton students to be seen both in school and by the wider community as mature, confident young people who wear the uniform with pride; who are responsible citizens with a thirst for learning. We are looking for the students to engage fully in the vast amount of opportunities available to them outside of lessons, to enrich their experience and inspire them to find activities they will continue to engage with for life.
We look forward to welcoming you into our school community.
Mr Andrew McNaughton
Principal
