Job overview
TEACHER OF SCIENCE required for September 2022
Main Scale (ECT applications welcome)
It is a very exciting time to join The Kingsway School. We are very proud of our diverse community and were delighted to be one of the first schools in Stockport to be awarded a ‘good’ rating using the new, much tougher Ofsted framework. In January 2020, our school was judged as one where ‘the head teacher and staff are working to make this good school even better (and) prepare pupils well for successful and happy lives.’
The thing that makes us truly special is our students: ‘Pupils come to this school from many different backgrounds. They gel quickly and get along well. Pupils are happy, confident and upbeat. They value education. Pupils are considerate of others, behave well and try hard in class.’
We believe that our pupils deserve the best so we are looking for an exciting, dynamic and inspirational teacher of science to help accelerate our journey to outstanding and play a key role in further developing our ‘wide-ranging and thought-provoking curriculum’.
We are looking to appoint a member of staff to add capacity to our department and teach Science in both KS3 and KS4. In KS4 we normally teach within our subject specialisms, in this case we are seeking to appoint the best candidate regardless of specialism, who will inspire pupils to achieve the highest levels. The ideal candidate will be a teacher who would be willing to contribute to the wealth of opportunities beyond the classroom.

Ofsted report
“Where learning is very rapid as the result of outstanding teaching, lessons move along at a fast pace with high levels of challenge that really make students think deeply. Students relish the challenging work and tackle problems with real determination. They enjoy working on their own and finding things out for themselves, only relying on the teacher to steer them in the right direction when necessary.”
