Job overview
Tewkesbury School is a successful 11-18 community school with excellent facilities. The focus of the school is to develop well-rounded individuals through a wealth of opportunities both within the classroom and beyond.
We wish to appoint enthusiastic and creative members of staff to teach Science across all three Key Stages. An ability to teach Biology or Physics at KS5 is desirable but not essential. .
This vacancy provides an excellent opportunity to work in a high quality and well-resourced environment and to become part of a highly motivated and visionary team of teachers. The successful candidate will be able to apply a creative and proactive approach to their teaching enabling students to engage and flourish in the subject.
Science is a popular and successful subject with a large proportion of students opting to study the three separate sciences at GCSE level. Teachers tend to teach their specialism from KS4 upwards to improve continuity and progression to A-level.
All science teaching takes place in one of the 15 dedicated science laboratories, with teachers usually operating from their own laboratory. This is supported by 4 highly skilled and experienced technicians and a dedicated Science HLTA. The science faculty teaching staff is made up of 14 supportive, experienced teachers.
Applications are welcome from those who have a passion for developing individuals to reach their full potential.
Teachers who are newly qualified are encouraged to apply, as are those with more experience. The school offers a comprehensive NQT program and excellent opportunities for career development for all staff.
We are committed to safeguarding children: the successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS with list checks via the DBS registration.

About Tewkesbury Academy
Tewkesbury Academy is an exciting place to learn and work, with a student body of over 1,200 and upwards of 150 colleagues. We serve the distinctive town of Tewkesbury and surrounding villages, with its renowned historical, musical and ecological festivals each year. The sense of community and connectedness is strong at the Academy, as is support from the wider business community, and this is reflected in the plethora of personal development opportunities at the school.
Being ready, respectful and responsible is a key tenet of life at Tewkesbury Academy, where we provide a calm and supportive environment and expect commitment and hard work from students and staff alike to ensure that they feel supported and challenged to produce their best.
Tewkesbury Academy joined the CLF in July 2023 and is the founding school in the Gloucestershire Cluster. Since that time, two sibling schools have joined: Queen Margaret’s Primary Academy in Tewkesbury and Brook Academy in Brockworth. It is an exciting time to join the school as we design the future of the cluster and how we will impact positively beyond our own academy walls.
Tewkesbury Academy’s last inspection was under the predecessor school in Autumn 2022 – published January 2023 – where the Academy was designated to ‘Requires Improvement’. A year later, and there has been rapid improvement in the key areas of SEND, early reading and behaviour. The staff and leadership teams are engaged in a relentless drive for the Academy to regain Good and then move beyond that to be the great school this community deserves.
By joining us, you will be able to seize the chance to make a real difference to the lives of our students and help us to realise our ambition for a great provision. We have a strong ethos and high expectations for every child, and this is reflected in the rigour of the approaches and strategies being used to raise attainment, secure our culture and generate genuine aspiration and ambition amongst our cohort.
