Job overview
Enthusiastic Teacher of Science required from Easter or September 2018, based in Banstead, Surrey
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic Teacher of Science to deliver high quality lessons at all key stages. You will have a confident understanding of the curriculum and the ability to create new and exciting resources that challenge and inspire our students.
In 2017, the Science department achieved 67% A*-C in Additional Science and 86% A*-C in Further. We expect that our three year GCSE programme will enable our current Year 11s to rise to the challenge of the new specifications. In the Sixth Form we offer all three Science disciplines and these are increasingly popular. We use AQA as our exam board for all KS4 & 5 qualifications and have been deemed to be a centre of exceptional practice in regards to the deliverance of the required practicals. The department seeks a team player who wishes to take advantage of, as well as contribute to, its innovative approach to teaching and learning and professional support.
The Beacon School is currently rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and is part of the thriving GLF Schools Multi-Academy Trust, which is a supportive family of 27 schools. We have academic express streams, a strong house system and enrichment activities. We offer extensive professional development opportunities and the school is an exciting, innovative place to work.
We proudly serve our local community and are currently oversubscribed with student applicants. We are conveniently located within easy reach of Sutton and south London, with excellent road networks. Further benefits include a two week October half-term.
For an informal discussion about the post, please call Paul Cuthbert, Deputy Headteacher.
Closing date: noon on Monday 8 January 2018
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
We reserve the right to withdraw this vacancy at any time ahead of the closing date if there is a good level of response. Therefore, we recommend you submit your application as early as possible.
References may be requested upon receipt of your application, so please state if you wish this to be delayed until shortlisting/interview date.

We strive for students to develop their resourcefulness, and resilience, accept responsibility and be challenged to take risks in order to learn and succeed.
We want all students to achieve the best possible qualifications, so that as many doors as possible are open to them in the future. Equally, we are also committed to our students gaining key skills that prepare them for life in the 21st century and for them to become passionate about life-long learning beyond the classroom.
We have high expectations of each other and recognise that everyone learns differently. We expect our students to work hard and behave well both inside and outside of the classroom.
