TLR 2.1 available for the right candidate
The Governors are inviting applications from experienced or newly qualified teachers of Science. At The County High School, Leftwich, there is a strong tradition of high quality induction and continuing professional development so the post can be adapted to suit an entrant new to the profession or a colleague with recent experience. We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic Science teacher who will inspire and motivate students to succeed at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. An ability to teach Physics to Key Stage 4 is desirable.
This post is suitable for an NQT, RQT or someone who is looking to take a first step into a leadership role. A strong desire to motivate students and staff to achieve excellent progress is crucial in an environment in which “Pupils display a thirst for learning” and there is “…first-rate behaviour in classrooms and around the academy” (Ofsted, 2016).
The County High School, Leftwich is in a formal partnership with Sir John Deane’s College, a local outstanding 6th Form College with a tradition of high academic performance, as part of The Sir John Brunner Foundation. Sir John Deane’s College, with a Level 3 VA score of +0.53, is the leading 6th Form College in the country. The successful candidate will therefore have an opportunity to experience A-Level provision if desired.
In 2019 students left The County High School, Leftwich with ‘Well Above Average’ progress – as measured by the Progress 8 calculation (+0.80). The Progress 8 Score of +0.80 places The County High School, Leftwich in the top 2% of schools nationally for student progress. For the previous 4 years, progress has been at least ‘Above Average’.
Further details are available from TES Online, or the Academy’s website www.leftwichhigh.com.

Should a TLR 2.1 (currently £2,792pa) be awarded, the Leadership roles and responsibilities will be agreed with the Learning Leader, in line with the priorities of the Science Subject Improvement Plan.
Closing date for applications is Tuesday 25th February, 2020, 9am. Interviews will be held soon after.
