Director of Science

   Midhurst Rother College is an 11 to 18 academy located in beautiful surroundings situated inside the new South Downs National Park. Accommodated in a new £31 million building the College obtained an ‘outstanding’ judgement in all Ofsted categories in 2013. The College is on a strong upward trajectory of improvement and is very much the school of choice in the local area and beyond. In order to maintain this momentum the College requires (from September 2017) a well-qualified and enthusiastic Director of Science.    An extensive training and Inset programme along with a ‘laptop for staff’ scheme are in place. All those joining the College contribute to its wider life, especially its already rich and diverse programme of enrichment activities.  Science is crucial to the College’s future curriculum plans and its activities play a large role in its extra-curricular programme.   Candidates with a strong track record of high quality teaching are strongly urged to apply. A clear commitment to driving the Science department forward and maintaining the College’s outstanding status is essential. An interest or experience of STEM is desirable.     Closing date for applications:  Monday 6 March 2017   We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
