The successful candidate will be someone who is committed to the outcomes of every student.
The Science faculty is staffed by 8 teachers, including 1 member of the Senior Leadership Team.
The faculty has seven well-equipped laboratories. Hence, full time Science teachers have their own teaching base. The work of the faculty is very well supported by 2 technicians, centred in two prep rooms. Considerable recent expenditure has allowed the faculty to become well-resourced across all three disciplines. Each Science Teacher has a laptop linked to the school network and with internet access. Each Science laboratory has a projector and an interactive whiteboard and is equipped with general lab glassware.
In Years 7 and 8, six modules of each of Biology, Chemistry and Physics are taught. Students are grouped in forms in Year 7 and 8. They are in mixed ability groups in Year 9. Ideally, they have one teacher in each of Years 7 and 8 and three specialists for Years 9, 10 and 11.
At Year 9 students start to study areas of Science which overlap both the Keystage 3 national curriculum and GCSE content. Then, in Year 10, some students are invited to study AQA GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics over two years and all the other students study the AQA Combined Science GCSE.
GCSE SCIENCE RESULTS
In the Summer 2022 examinations, 46% of students achieved a Grade 7 or higher, over 74% of students achieved a Grade 5 or higher and 84% of students achieved a Grade 4 or higher in Science.

The School operates a rigorous recruitment process as part of our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all our students and expects all our staff to share this commitment. Appointment is thus subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service application.
