Job overview
Faculty Leader for Science (TLR 1a currently £9377)
We are seeking to appoint an inspirational teacher with the skills, experience and energy to lead this thriving Faculty from September 2017, following the promotion of the post holder to the position of Assistant Headteacher.
The Faculty teaches Separate Sciences alongside Combined Triology Science at GCSE. At KS5 we offer Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Forensic Science, and numbers of students opting for Science based subjects are strong and increasing further.
This is an exciting time to be joining Gosford Hill School as it enters the next phase of its journey under the leadership of its new Headteacher. We are very proud of our school, but you can only learn so much from reading about us. We therefore encourage you to come and visit, in order to experience what makes our school special.
We welcome applications from both Subject Leaders, looking to make the next step in their career, or equally from ambitious main scale teachers looking for a new challenge, who feel that they have the passion, drive and determination to develop their leadership skills in order to make a significant impact on the learning of our young people through their leadership of the Faculty team. Gosford Hill School is situated in Kidlington, on the north western edge of Oxford near to the new Oxford Parkway Station (a 50 minute journey from London). We are also fortunate to be at the gateway to the rural Cotswolds.
If you are interested in the post, please complete a Gosford Hill School application form and include a letter (of no more than 2 sides of A4) outlining your reasons for applying, your suitability for the post and the impact that you would make on our Science Faculty.

About Gosford Hill School
Welcome to Gosford Hill School
It’s a pleasure to welcome you to Gosford Hill School. Our school prides itself on the emphasis that we place on the needs, aspirations and achievement of individual students with learning very much at the heart of our work. We want our students to develop as resilient and autonomous learners, keen to overcome challenges, and take risks, so that they gain the transferable skills needed to enable them to lead fulfilling lives as confident and articulate individuals in our society.
Every student has strengths and talents, and it is our job to find and unlock that potential in every student. Whether it’s sport, art, music, Duke of Edinburgh or World Challenge, we celebrate success and recognise that learning goes beyond the classroom. Students are often more likely to remember the wealth and diverse range of opportunities available to them beyond the classroom as they are faced with new and exciting challenges.
We work closely with parents, and it is our belief that where the school, individual student and their parents work closely together, students will succeed.
It’s a privilege to lead such a wonderful school and I do hope that you find the information on our website helpful. There is so much more to learn about our school though, so I would therefore urge you to come and visit us in order to find out and experience for yourself why students, parents, staff and our wider community are so proud of our school.
Mr Nigel J. Sellars
Headteacher
