Job overview
The Senior Leadership Team wish to appoint a well-qualified Biology Teacher to join the successful Science department. Recent experience of teaching at KS3 and 4 is essential along with the commitment to promote a vibrant learning environment and to prepare pupils effectively for GCSE. The ability to teach combined sciences to KS3 would be an advantage.
Cranmore is at an exciting stage in its development with a growing Senior School. Science is taught by specialist teachers from the start of the Upper Prep School (Years 4, 5 and 6) with Biology, Chemistry and Physics being taught separately from Year 6. Currently, there are 260 pupils in Years 4 to 8. This will rise to 300+, with the addition of another three Year 9 forms in September 2022, forming our first GCSE cohort in Summer 2025. This is an excellent opportunity for a Biology specialist to contribute to the existing success of the Science department and to be instrumental in advancing Biology teaching.
The department already benefits from three purpose built science laboratories and a dedicated prep room. There are 2 full time members of staff, one part time and a science technician. A planning application is underway for the construction of a science and technology building within the school grounds with completion scheduled for September 2022.

About Cranmore
Cranmore presents a thoroughly up-to-date and superbly equipped independent school on a magnificent 25 acre campus in the heart of Surrey. Having taught pupils to the age of 13 for 50 years, in September 2019, Cranmore joined the Effingham Schools Trust resulting in the widening of the provision to offer education for pupils age 2 to 18.
The Trust’s diamond model will offer the benefits of the co-ed classroom to very young pupils, the benefits of the single sex classroom in later prep and secondary years, before finally returning to co-education at 6th Form. This method reflects and acknowledges that girls and boys approach their learning in different ways as they develop.
Cranmore has a wonderful 25 acre site and is blessed with fantastic facilities including a brand new Science and Technology Centre, dedicated music and sports buildings, swimming pool, ICT suites and a Forest School. Combined with its sister school, St. Teresa’s, the Trust has 1,000 pupils and £20m+ assets. There are exciting plans for new capital development as the Trust grows to 1,200 pupils over the next few years.
Cranmore is proud of its reputation as a leading independent school with all round excellence across a broad curriculum enriched with co-curricular activities. We are excited to be expanding our education and invite you to learn more on our website: www.cranmore.org
