TEACHER OF SCIENCE
CPS (Fringe) Full time, Permanent
Are you a passionate teacher of Science with a ‘can-do’ attitude and a desire to share that passion with our fabulous students? Do you want to work in a specialist, supportive, dynamic and highly successful team? Can you enthuse students so they are eager to arrive and reluctant to leave your classroom? If so, then this is the job for you!
We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic teacher of Science to join our large successful team. All GCSE students are taught by specialism, even those completing the combined science course, and over a third of our students choose to take the triple science courses. Historically our triple science students have achieved better results than ‘all schools’ with Biology and Chemistry GCSE students achieving 94% A* - C grades in June 2017. Biology, Chemistry and Physics are offered at A Level and post-16 teaching may be available for a suitably qualified candidate.
Our students deserve nothing but the best and in return for giving 100% we provide support, effective career development, and a wonderfully supportive school community.

We recognise the importance of activities beyond the classroom in developing the experience, skills and personal attributes of our students, enabling them to be better prepared for applications to and success in, university and the world of work.
