Job overview

Owing to the retirement of a long-standing colleague, we require a Science Technician  for September 2020. This is a term-time only post (32.5 hours per week) from 8.45am-3.45pm.

This post represents  a unique opportunity to join and contribute to the ongoing success of an outstanding selective girls school and the 2020 West Midlands Secondary School of the Year. At NGHS, teachers can teach without being concerned about unruly discipline. This reward is offset against the challenge of inquisitive girls who want to learn and who politely question to further their own knowledge. Teachers are successful in their roles because of the support they receive from support and ancillary staff. At NGHS, there is one staff body and we hope that you will consider joining our team.

NGHS was visited by Ofsted in October 2019 and inspected under the new framework. The school continues to maintain its outstanding status. Ofsted stated: There is a real buzz across the school about learning, the curriculum and the best ways to teach. Teachers work together to enhance provision across  by reviewing specific aspects of their work. Staff regularly influence decision-making at NGHS (for example a new assessment and feedback policy was devised by a staff working group to roll out across the school) and a Wellbeing Charter can be found in the application pack.

Please find below an application form, recruitment pack and our safer recruitment policy. Please read the information carefully before submitting an application, which should be returned to jobs@nghs.org.uk no later than Wednesday 22 April. If you have any questions about the post, please feel free to contact the Headteacher, Mr Michael Scott via headteacher@nghs.org.uk.

NGHS is committed to Safer Recruitment to protect and safeguard our students. Please read the Safer Recruitment Policy carefully.

Newport Girls’ High School is a girls' grammar school located in the market town of Newport, Shropshire. With around 680 pupils aged 11-18, the school is a selective academy, with entrance examinations required of any prospective students.

In 2019, the School was successful in gaining £2.3m to expand further under the government's Selective Schools Expansion Fund. An additional 30 pupils per year joined the school at Year 7 from September 2021 and an ambitious building programme (dining room, kitchen, science laboratory, computer suite and four classrooms) opened in January 2022.

The school’s sixth form is also open to students from other local schools. Newport Girls' High School converted to an academy in 2012 and operates under its own trust.

Ofsted report (November 2022)

"Leaders and teachers are highly ambitious for all pupils throughout the school, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They make sure that the most important knowledge and skills in each subject are taught in the most effective sequence."

"Pupils rapidly develop the exceptionally positive learning behaviours expected by leaders and teachers. There is no disruption of lessons."
