Job overview
TEACHER OF SCIENCE
Salary: Main scale
Location: Charlton School
Required from: September 2024
Contract type: Full Time or Part Time
Contract term: Permanent
Charlton is an 11-16 comprehensive school, well established in the heart of its local community. We are a truly comprehensive school, admitting children from over 20 primary schools, with students’ prior attainment at KS2 broadly in line with National Average, with a slight bias towards higher ability range.
At Charlton we take pride in students’ progress, with learning at the heart of all we do. We know the importance of inspiring students to develop a thirst for learning, so our curriculum is broad, rich and matched to individuals’ needs.
Our emphasis on purposeful, relevant learning means that our students benefit from a range of visits, specialist teaching and extensive extra-curricular experiences. We aim for all our students to enjoy school, excel in their studies and attain outstanding outcomes.
Charlton’s Vision – Building Knowledge, Developing Character, Inspiring Futures
Our vision is to nurture happy, healthy young people who have the knowledge, academic achievement and strength of character to lead safe and successful lives in modern Britain, preparing them for their next steps in education or employment with a thirst for lifelong learning.
Charlton’s Values
At Charlton our ethos is built upon our three core values, we expect all members of the Charlton community to always exhibit these values:
· Respect
· Responsibility
· Resilience
We are tremendously proud of our school building. It provides first rate facilities, purpose-built for the 21st century. Our new build school opened in June 2016 and was the last school in the country to be completed under the Building Schools for the Future scheme.
Additional investment in state-of-the-art ICT, Sports, Expressive Arts, Science and Technology, have been a great boost to students’ already rich curriculum of Foreign Languages, Humanities, English and Maths. We firmly believe that the new facilities will further strengthen our high performance across the school.
The school joined the Learning Communities Trust as an academy in December 2018. This is a multi-academy trust set up to serve the needs of the students in the Wellington and Hadley areas of Telford. This is an exciting development for the school, and we are already seeing the benefits of collaborating with other schools.
Following a recent Ofsted inspection (May 2023), the school has been judged to be good overall and good in all the separate judgement areas. We are delighted with the outcome, and that the dedication and hard work of our students and staff has been rightly recognised.
We are offering an exciting opportunity for an excellent teacher to join our successful Science department, supporting the further development of an innovative curriculum for all, with purposeful, contextual learning and high expectations for students forming a major part of our passion for learning.

Within curriculum areas, our teams consider the views of learners using student self-evaluation as part of their assessment procedures. This gives learners the opportunity for reflection and to improve good practice. Students are encouraged to share their views and opinions and play a key role in shaping the future of our school. Students take tremendous pride in what they do and have a sense of loyalty with good relationships with staff.
As a school we have a wide range of extra-curricular activities supported through our partnership work with many outside agencies. This, linked with our work to promote community cohesion, provides our young people with every opportunity to meet their potential.
Students are guided via a strong pastoral system, with experienced staff who support our effective learning environment. All students have form tutors who serve as academic mentors to track progress. Heads of Year and non-teaching Pastoral Managers offer further support and where required access external agencies and family support.
We aim to keep learning at the heart of all we do, recognising the strengths of collaboration and sharing best practice. We are a true learning school where every individual has the opportunity to develop, maximising their full potential.
We look forward to welcoming you into our school community.
