Teacher of Science

We are looking for a confident classroom practitioner to join our science family who shares with us;

● A moral imperative to serve a community with a high level of deprivation

● A strong, no excuses philosophy who will expect the same high standard from all students regardless of their background

● Integrity, drive and commitment

● Excellent or developing subject knowledge

● An evidence informed insight into effective classroom practice.

● The ability to support and guide colleagues to reflect deeply on their own practice.

● Ambition to develop/adapt their teaching and learning practices to ignite a passion for science amongst our young people

● A strong classroom presence to achieve high levels of student engagement and progress

Why should you commit your future to the children of Ernesford Grange Community Academy?

I asked some of our Ernesford colleagues earlier this term what is was that made them love working here quite so much and this is just a snippet of what they said:

·         We are a genuine family where the staff care just as much about each other as they do about our wonderful students

·         SLT actually trust staff to work and do not micro-manage everything

·         It feels like the responsibilities during the tough times and decisions are shared to make it a little easier on everyone

·         We have a dedicated Director of Staff Well-Being who genuinely wants to make sure we are all happy and enjoying our time at school

·         SLT listen to you and actually take on board suggestions on how to keep improving

·         We care about others. Really care. Not the care that you do because you have to, or because you feel obliged to.

·         Engaging and challenging schemes of work in place which eases workload as they require differentiating according to group need rather than re-creating. These are reviewed constantly so if we need to think of something new we share the workload as a team.

The staff survey from June 2020 highlighted that 99% of colleagues felt that staff morale was good or outstanding, 98% felt the support they received from their line manager was good or outstanding and 95% of staff felt that the management of pupil behaviour was good or outstanding.  It is our aim to get 100% for each of these categories in the next survey.
