Teacher of Science

Hanson is a larger than average 11 to 19 mixed comprehensive school with a good reputation in the City of Bradford.  We have 1570 students on roll including 290 in the sixth form.  We are committed to ensuring that talent is nurtured in a safe, orderly and stimulating learning environment. We believe that every child does matter and that by becoming fully involved in their learning, they will get the most out of their time with us and that their learning experiences will be both enjoyable and successful. We are immensely proud of the achievements of all our students and enjoy celebrating them as a school community.   

There is a huge emphasis on high academic and personal achievement. We are committed to raising standards of achievement for all pupils and provide extra support for students throughout the educational spectrum.   Hanson is a happy and supportive school which offers a range of educational, social and cultural opportunities to all its young people.   

Hanson School is served by new buildings. We have state of the art Sports facilities, practical Science and Technology rooms, modern Media and Creative Arts suites and a variety of learning bases.  All of these rooms are served by an innovative ICT solution, with over 1,500 pieces of computer equipment.  

The School is especially proud of our on site Additional Resource Centre (ARC) in which students with additional needs can be supported using up to date specialist equipment and resources.  The ARC supports Visually Impaired (VI) and Hearing Impaired (HI) students at the school by providing a personalised programme that includes learning in mainstream lessons and alternative specialised provision.  

Hanson also hosts the Goals sports complex (one dance studio, ten floodlit astro turf courts and a full size floodlit football pitch) as well the Pulse fitness suite that students have access to.  The school has an impressive range of extra curricular, cultural and sporting opportunities for our students.  

You would be joining Hanson at a very exciting time as we are delighted to announce that Hanson has been removed from special measures and is now recognised as ‘requires improvement’. We are very pleased with the outcome of the recent OFSTED report and see this as a significant step forward on our journey to outstanding.  We very much hope that after looking at the details you will decide to pursue an application to work with us.    

Please feel free to contact the school for further discussion or a visit, on 01274 776200. We very much look forward to receiving your application.  

Yours faithfully   

Mr. Richard Woods  

Head Teacher
