Job overview
Falinge Park High School, Rochdale
M1 – UPR3
Opening Doors; Unlocking Potential
Start date – January 2020
An opportunity has arisen for a Science teacher to work alongside our partner, the University of Manchester, in developing partnerships across Rochdale and Greater Manchester. The SEERIH hub have been our partner for four years and for the past two years we have seconded a teacher two days a week to work alongside them. The promotion of this teacher to Head of Faculty has left a vacancy and we are hoping we will find a Science teacher who can teach Key Stage 3 and 4 Science but has the necessary skills to lead our Science partnership with SEERIH, local primary schools and lead on Greater Manchester Science Share and Greater Manchester Engineering Challenge. It is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to use their Scientific skills in a different way or someone who is looking to develop before applying for leadership roles.
Falinge Park High School is a large, multicultural, over-subscribed, inclusive comprehensive in Rochdale. There is a warm, welcoming atmosphere in the school and our pupils are well behaved and keen to learn. There is a positive ethos amongst the staff and we are recognised for our high quality professional learning and development.
Our objective is to create a compelling learning experience for everybody. We believe the way to do this is by believing in people and building positive relationships.
SEERIH is a well established department at the University of Manchester and have engaged thousands of children annually in the Great Science Share and Greater Manchester Engineering Challenge. They are committed to developing a strong Science continuum from Early Years to Higher Education. You can find out more about them here. https://www.seerih.manchester.ac.uk/

The Governors of Falinge Park High School have determined that the school should join the Watergrove Trust, a Rochdale-based multi-academy trust which aligns very positively with the Falinge Park values and mission. We hope to join the Watergrove community of two secondary and five primary schools in the Autumn term of 2024.
Watergrove is a part centralised trust which shares core processes but also honours the individual character of all its schools, so whilst benefiting from the collaborative opportunities of being in a trust, you will also be firmly part of the Falinge Park family
