Teacher of Science

Role: Teacher of Science

Salary: MPS/UPS 

Applications from NQT’s welcome

Start date: September 2019

Hours of work: Full time

Are you passionate about your subject? Do you want to teach A level? Do you want to teach in a small community school that knows each one of its children and their families? Do you want to be involved in shaping the growth and development of a new school and sixth form? If the answers to these questions are “yes”, then you are the person we are looking for to join our school.

“We aim to know every one of our students well, providing an environment that allows them to achieve what they are truly capable of by promoting both academic progress and a ‘can do’ attitude.”

Our all-through Free School opened in September 2013; we are oversubscribed and experiencing rapid growth in both the Primary and Secondary phases. Our fantastic heritage site has been fully refurbished and provides a unique learning environment. Small year groups enable us to know every child well and personalise their learning. We are forward-thinking, with the freedom to shape our school curriculum in response to the needs of the local community and businesses and we are delighted that Ofsted confirmed our judgement of good was maintained in their November ‘18 visit.

This is a unique opportunity to share your best practice in science teaching with a highly ambitious learning team.

We expect you to deliver consistently high-quality teaching and embody our ‘no excuses’ culture in taking steps to ensure no child is left behind in their learning. We place value on mathematics and business as it is key to supporting students’ success across the curriculum and in their future lives.

Most important is your attitude and approach. You will be:

• able to motivate students and inspire a love for your subject,

• willing to use your experience to engage and enthuse students in their learning,

• keen to use new technologies and develop a vision for learning in the 21st Century,

• committed to securing outstanding outcomes for all students in your care,

• willing to play an active part in building scientific partnerships.

As a growing school we offer outstanding opportunities for development and further promotion. We work closely with the Oxfordshire Teaching Schools Alliance and other professional development partners to ensure your development is a priority. As a member of staff, you will have access to our leisure facilities and the opportunity to work in a new school.  

Closing Date: 23rd April 2019, noon.

Interviews will be held on Monday 29th April 2019.

Applications must be made using the Heyford Park Free School Application Form, which should be submitted along with an Equal Opportunities Statement. All forms can be found on our website under ‘Vacancies’. 

Please note that we advise applying promptly as we reserve the right to close and interview early if sufficient suitable applications have been received.
