Director of Learning for Science

Oldbury Wells is a  popular school at the heart of its community rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted with consistently positive outcomes at GCSE & GCE; our core purpose to “Inspire education and Inspire lives’.  We are seeking to employ an inspirational Director of Learning for Science who shares our commitment to all students across our community.  Applications will be welcomed from science specialists from any science discipline.  Ideally, candidates will have led an area of responsibility within science or elsewhere and be ready for a wider role.

The successful candidate will join a teaching team of 8 staff.  Oldbury Wells has established A-level teaching in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Psychology and teaches both Separate Science and Trilogy Sciences at GCSE.

Oldbury Wells is a flourishing academy and was the founding school of the TrustEd Partnership which recently amalgamated with CSAT to become the TrustEd CSAT Alliance (May 22).  This new Trust is a family of nine schools based in South Shropshire and Shrewsbury.  Our Trust is committed to supporting local education and enjoys strong partnership arrangements with all local primary schools.  At the centre of our work is quality and inclusive education for students of all abilities; all our partner schools work closely together to support professional development opportunities which ensure all members of the team can develop within their role.

We have a very good track record in terms of examination results with excellent Progress 8, Attainment 8 and VA scores as a result of good progress from students across all key groups.  We offer a broad and rich curriculum with student’s academic and personal development central to all our work.  Oldbury Wells School also has an established and flourishing Sixth Form (Bridgnorth Sixth Form) which gives students a clear pathway into post 16 provision.

We are located just 20 minutes from the West Midlands conurbation where we enjoy a small town location in Bridgnorth but within easy reach of the Birmingham, Telford & Shrewsbury areas. 

Oldbury Wells School is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people and therefore expects all staff to share this commitment.  All appointments are subject to a satisfactory DBS check.
