Teacher of Science

We are seeking to appoint a teacher of Science to contribute to the ongoing development of the faculty. A commitment to promoting the highest possible academic success and all-round development of our students is essential. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious, talented and well-motivated teacher to join our large, innovative and supportive Science faculty.

The successful candidate will have an affinity with young people and be outward thinking in their approach to teaching and learning with the enthusiasm to develop these popular subjects and a vision to continue the excellent work already undertaken. You must have very good subject knowledge and be committed to raising the achievement and aspirations of all students. An ability to teach to A Level would be an advantage.

You will:

• Be an outstanding classroom practitioner; committed to achieving and sustaining high standards of Learning and Teaching.

• Have an enthusiastic and inspirational approach to the delivery of Science across the full 11-18 age range.

• Have positive classroom management skills, high expectations and a commitment to the best possible outcomes for all pupils.

• Be highly motivated and self-driven with the ability to work with other high achieving professionals.

• Be active and involved in the extra-curricular life of the faculty.

This post offers an excellent opportunity for you to gain experience in teaching across all age levels and abilities as part of the core curriculum, including the possibility of teaching students in the sixth form.
