Science Technician

We are looking for a Science Technician to join our forward-thinking academy. We are seeking to employ staff who have a thirst to develop young people and build teams committed to academic and pastoral success. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in influencing positive learning outcomes for our students.

At Sandymoor Ormiston Academy we stand at the heart of our community and in the words of our students, 'We are a family'.

Over the last four years, we have gone from strength to strength, and I am delighted with the progress we continue to make to becoming one of the best schools in the area in terms of progress, attendance, and behaviour. We are proud to say we are over-subscribed for September 2022 admissions .

Being a smaller school, we know our students inside-out and always put them at the heart of our decisions. We work exceptionally hard to provide a student-centred, personalised, and innovative learning environment preparing our students with the character and leadership skills to lead happy, healthy, and successful futures. Being a Liverpool City Region Careers Hub, we actively support our students to pursue the career of their choice; we instil in all of them that their dreams are within reach.

Our curriculum extends well beyond the classroom walls. We actively encourage all our students to develop their cultural learning through opportunities to travel, read, debate, participate in and achieve additional awards and qualifications. We are firmly dedicated to our values of determination, self-belief, pride, and resilience which emanate through our academy on a daily basis.

As a united family together we embark on an exciting voyage of discovery into a somewhat unchartered future. We are proud to be developing the next generation of trail blazers who have a firm belief that, for them, anything is possible; that their dreams are within reach. Pupils who are proud to be curious and creative and find new ways of achieving their potential with the confidence and self-belief to fly!

We lead by example and live out this desire to ‘inspire excellence together’ by facing our fears to become stronger and wiser through resilience and determination. We look after each other and work to make our community a better place to live; whilst promoting an awareness of wider world issues.

Success to us is not only measured in academic outcomes; we value the wider, enrichment experience which educates the whole child, giving our pupils improved life chances. We endeavour to actively remove barriers from youngsters lives as best as we can to transform their future.

To us, education is a pursuit of the mind and to this end we encourage our school community to read, to learn, to challenge and to debate in a place where everyone has a voice that is recognised as we work together to become greater.

We take pride in being the school that every child wants to remain a part of, even after they have graduated; the school that has become more than a school; a family; a place of safety and warmth that remains in the hearts of our community throughout their life.

Sandymoor Ormiston Academy caters for 11 to 16 year olds with 556 students on roll, we provide a vibrant learning environment with first-class facilities.
