Science Teacher – Maternity cover

The Vacancy

We are looking for a science teacher to cover maternity leave from 3rd January 2023.

Our school dominates an impressive position in Lytham St Annes, overlooking the sand dunes of the Ribble Estuary and the Fylde coast. Preston, the Ribble Valley, the Lake District and Manchester are all within easy reach by direct motorway.

AKS is a strong and successful independent school, resulting from the merger of the Arnold, King Edward VII, and Queen Mary schools. Arnold was founded in 1896, while King Edward VII School dates back to 1908 and Queen Mary School to 1930. Both Arnold and KEQMS have attracted pupils of the highest calibre from the Fylde Coast and surrounding areas.

Our pupils are highly motivated, hardworking, well-mannered and a pleasure to teach. Examination results at GCSE and A level are consistently excellent, with strong value added at each stage.

We operate professionally as a close and mutually supportive team, with a shared enthusiasm for working with young people and bringing out the best in them. Our teachers have a passion for their subject, a belief in young people, good humour, energy, initiative and a genuine sense of teaching vocation, which is fully rewarded by working at AKS.

Through our membership of United Learning all teaching staff benefit from a high standard of professional training. All schools within the United Learning group communicate frequently and mutual support is always available, at all levels. The Group provides tailored INSET days for schools as well as a full range of INSET courses throughout the year for individuals to attend. The United Learning pay scale offers appropriate remuneration, as well as incremental progression and one-off bonus payments at the Headmaster’s discretion for exceptional service. The school contributes in full to the Teachers' Superannuation Scheme and there is a fee-remission scheme for children of staff, who are educated at the school.

United Learning

We are part of United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England.

Our schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. Our subject specialists, our Group-wide intranet, our own curriculum and our online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

As a Group, we can reward our staff better with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.

We are working hard to become a more diverse organisation – which is key to our commitment to bringing out the best in everyone. We welcome applications from everyone committed to this ethos and would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in the Group as a whole. We always appoint on merit. We are open to discussing flexible working options.
