Head of Science and Technology Faculty

Courage, Commitment, Compassion

We are looking for a passionate scientist who is an inspiring leader, capable of guiding a great team of staff on our continued journey to becoming an Outstanding school. The successful candidate will be an inspirational leader who would proactively promote our core values of Courage, Commitment and Compassion – ensuring that they are brought to life through the taught curriculum and through your contribution to extra-curricular activities.

You would be expected to contribute to an upward trend in results, which saw the Progress 8 figure in GCSE Combined Science rise to +0.31 in 2020, (the 4th consecutive annual improvement in results). The post also includes the line management of Design Technology and Food Preparation and Nutrition (both single teacher subject areas).

The successful candidate will be an excellent and enthusiastic teacher, looking to join a community-focussed school where we go the extra mile to give our students the best provision we can offer.

• You would be joining us at an exciting time on the school’s upward journey: our student roll is growing and we are in the process of reviewing our approach to curriculum planning
• We can offer you the opportunity to work collaboratively with our primary and secondary partners for the benefit of all students in our community
• We are active members of the Yorkshire Teaching School Alliance, which is aiming to deliver innovative high-quality practice across the partnership
• You will receive extensive CPD opportunities both within school, within the YTSA and nationally
• We are a friendly, innovative school situated in the centre of the beautiful county of North Yorkshire bordering the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering a high quality of life. The school is only a few minutes away from the A1 making it easily accessible from Teesside, York, Leeds and Newcastle.
