Job overview
We are currently looking for a talented teacher of Science with the ability to teach up to GCSE in at least one of the Science specialisms.
The Science faculty is a large team of specialists who work very well together. Facilities are good, with well-equipped labs for all lessons. Perhaps more than any other team in the school, the Science department have improved significantly in recent years; this means morale is especially high and it would be an exciting time to join the team. Results last summer were securely outstanding in both trilogy and separate sciences (overall value added score = 0.63; 83% gained at least two 9-4 grades; 67% gained at least two 9-5 grades). High numbers of students opt for separate sciences every year and we typically have at least two classes in each of the three sciences at A’ level. The sustained improvement over the past few years is no accident; it has come about through strong faculty leadership and a willingness on the part of teachers to engage with an agenda built around delivering a rigorous, inspiring and ‘knowledge-rich’ curriculum to all students.
We would be delighted to receive applications from NQTs as well as more experienced teachers; it is your values, commitment and potential that we are most interested in. We pride ourselves on providing lots of support and plenty of opportunities for professional development for colleagues at all stages of their career.

Ofsted report (February 2018)
“Pupils feel safe and secure in a school that is characterised by harmonious relationships. There are strong relationships between adults and pupils alike. Teachers have high hopes for pupils and expect the very best from them. This is a school where everyone is accepted for their individuality and uniqueness. It is a school that aims to ensure that inclusivity and scholastic ambition intertwine seamlessly.
Pupils are extremely positive about their learning experiences…. (they) also benefit from an extensive extra-curricular programme and strong spiritual, moral, social and cultural development (and) recognise that their teachers and other adults go ‘the extra mile’ for each of them. For these reasons, pupils reciprocate the care, guidance and support that they receive with extremely high standards of behaviour. They are an absolute credit to the school.”
