We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher of Chemistry from April or September 2018.

We are a high performing and popular school with specialist status, located close to the M42 and M6, in easy reach of Birmingham, Staffordshire, South Derbyshire, Warwickshire and Leicestershire.

Our Science Faculty is continuing its exciting journey to further enhance performance in the subject so that achievement and progress is significantly better than national and local figures.  Subsequently, we are seeking to appoint dynamic, innovative and ambitious teachers who can contribute to driving forward this vision.  Have you got the skills and motivation to be part of the team to make this happen?

Learning and teaching is a key focus at Kingsbury School and so we are looking to appoint teachers who can challenge our students to achieve their potential; for excellent practitioners we are also offering the opportunity for scholarships through the development of learning and teaching strategies on a whole school level.  Through our recent joining with the Castle Phoenix Academy Trust we are also able to offer significant professional development opportunities to successful candidates.  This can include CPD opportunities with our teaching school, leadership development opportunities, teaching development CPD for newly qualified candidates (ITP and OTP) and collaboration with our trust lead school, Caludon Castle.  

If you would like to know more or would like to visit us and see our school in action then please do not hesitate to make contact. Potential applicants are encouraged to visit prior to the closing date.  Please contact Helen Jones, PA to the Headteacher at jones.h3@welearn365.com.
