Job overview
Kingsley School is a co-educational independent boarding school with students from 2-19 years old, located in the beautiful UNESCO Biosphere of North Devon and one of only 12 World Surf Reserves worldwide. Designated as an Earth Centre with a focus on sustainability and environmental education and with its very own surf academy, Kingsley School invites applications to join its dynamic science department to teach Year 7-13 students in the Senior School, and to achieve that perfect work-life balance where the wellbeing and mental health of staff and students is the number one priority.
You will be delivering subject-based learning along with relevant project-based STEM in both our core and expansive curriculums, where you are able to be creative, think differently and do things differently to help our students and staff colleagues become the very best versions of themselves. You will also lead chemistry across the senior school and help develop ever-more ambitious, innovative and exciting content to inspire our students. The ability to teach an additional science would be an advantage but not essential.
Our Expansive Curriculum pathways of wider STEM, Outdoor Education, sport, arts, environmentalism and sustainability are all designed to ensure that all staff and students achieve the perfect balance in their mental health and wellbeing.
