Job overview
Teacher of Science (with a TLR 2 for a suitably qualified candidate)
We are seeking a passionate and inspirational Teacher of Science.
We are a large, oversubscribed all-through academy which serves the Wootton Fields, Wootton and Grange Park areas of Northampton. The school caters for 2000 students, with 420 in the primary phase and 300 in the 6th form. Academic attainment across all phases is consistently above national averages and in 2017 over 79% of students obtained grade 4+, and 54% obtained grade 5+ in both English and mathematics.
The school requires a dynamic, confident and ambitious Teacher of Science to enhance our successful team. Our students are bright and typically join the school with prior attainment well above national averages and extremely good levels of student behaviour and engagement. Around 100 students in each year group take triple science and we offer successful A level provision in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. All teachers are issued with an iPad to support their teaching and learning in the classroom. There is the possibility of a TLR 2 for a suitably qualified individual who is keen to take on additional responsibility within the faculty.
Caroline Chisholm School has a clear ambition to become the highest-performing school in the Northamptonshire area, across all phases. The school is privileged to have a highly-talented, experienced, motivated staff team and a supportive, capable and extremely well behaved student body.
Visits by prospective candidates prior to submitting an application form are encouraged.
The closing date for this post is: Monday 8th October at noon.
Interviews for the post are expected to take place on Wednesday 10th October 2018.
If you have not heard anything from the school by Wednesday 10th October, please assume that on this occasion you have not been successful.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post will be subject to an Enhanced DBS Disclosure. All applications should read the school’s Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy (which is available on our website) and are required to declare any information, as requested, on the online application form.
