Teacher of Science

About The Role

• They are recruiting an exceptional team of staff to support the next stage of development of a genuinely transformational school. They are looking for candidates who are able to demonstrate the highest expectations of pupil effort and conduct and are able to do so with kindness and warmth.
• The successful candidates will join a very strong science department and will work collaboratively to shape science provision at the school, embed the school vision and develop an outstanding school that empowers their pupils to take responsibility and drive their own destinies.
• The successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow with the school. They will be supported in their development and preparation for future roles. Teaching experience will not be a determining factor— they welcome applications from NQTs as well as more experienced candidates. They will develop every staff member that joins their team, providing one-to- one support, coaching and mentoring and access to extensive network training.

Benefits

• Leaders at the school prevent unnecessary demands on teacher time – meetings, marking and administrative tasks are minimised to ensure teachers can be highly effective. The curriculum and resourcing ensure that teachers rarely plan alone: staff time is used where it is most valuable: working as a team to implement the curriculum for the students in their classrooms.
• They have a truly open-door culture where frequent low-stakes feedback is the norm. They value the input of all of their staff and collaborate to ensure the academy continues to improve as it expands. They frequently host teams of domestic and international educators who come to learn from us and help us shape their provision.
• Twice as many training days as standard
• Weekly staff training designed to meet the needs of the school
• Coaching for every teacher
• Protected co-planning time
• Access to high-quality, regular professional development

About Us

• They are a new secondary school in Acton which opened in 2021. They will have 900 pupils in Years 7- 11 from September 2025. Pupils will be sitting their GCSE exams for the first time and preparing for progression to A-level.
• The school seeks to redefine what is possible in education. Their model is “simplicity delivered expertly”: by delivering an immaculately planned and highly academic curriculum exceptionally well; and by providing their pupils with a compelling aspiration-raising ethos they seek to transform the future of pupils in a highly deprived community.
• Behaviour at the school is exemplary enabling you to deliver exceptional lessons. Pupils are entirely bought-in to the values and ethos of the school and know that they are fortunate to attend a school where the quality of education is exceptional and where love, warmth, respect and the highest standards permeate every interaction. Pupils are a pleasure to teach and you can always expect a “thank you miss” when pupils leave your classroom.

• Diversity and inclusion:
• They aim to build a diverse and inclusive organisation where everyone – staff and students – can do their best work and achieve their full potential. They want to reflect and represent diverse perspectives across their organisation because they know that doing so will make us stronger and more effective.

• Safeguarding statement:
• The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in its academies. In order to meet this responsibility, its academies follow a rigorous selection process to discourage and screen out unsuitable applicants. 
• The school requires all employees to undertake an enhanced DBS check. You are required, before appointment, to disclose any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. Non-disclosure may lead to termination of employment. However, disclosure of a criminal background will not necessarily debar you from employment - this will depend upon the nature of the offence(s) and when they occurred.
• Please note they will be reviewing applications on an on-going basis and this role may close earlier than advertised depending on the level of response. They strongly encourage to submit your application at your earliest convenience.
