Job overview
Teacher of Science required for January 2018
(Plus relocation package and 3 months free accommodation)
William Edwards has one of the best Science Departments in the country with 2017 results 22% higher than any other local school (75% double award Science A*-C). Student progress in 2017 was above the national average.
William Edwards is a very popular, oversubscribed 11-16 school, judged ‘outstanding’ by OfSTED. It is the strategic lead school for the Thurrock Teaching School Alliance and is part of the growing South West Essex Community Education Trust. Core subject pupil outcomes are significantly above the national average. We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic teacher to join our highly committed Science team. We will welcome applications from people at any stage of their career as we know that the training and development we can offer is second to none and with a new trust Secondary Free School recently approved by the DfE, continued career progression in the future is a real possibility.
The Science Department is well resourced and has seen significant recent investment including new laboratories, iPads for all staff and Apple TV in every room. The Department also benefits from highly experienced full-time technicians and is currently engaged in a range of work to further develop pedagogy across the department and school.
The school offers a comprehensive induction programme for all new staff and a strong commitment to continuing staff development and training through the Teaching School.
If you have energy and passion in abundance and would relish the opportunity to join our Science team, we look forward to hearing from you. Salary and responsibility are negotiable for the right candidate and we would welcome pre-application visits.
William Edwards School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants for this post must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including reference checks with previous employers and a DBS check with the Disclosure & Barring Service.

About William Edwards School
SWECET is a growing, cross phase Multi Academy Trust, established in 2015 to serve the needs of its communities. SWECET currently has three ‘Good’ primary schools, one ‘Outstanding’ secondary and one ‘RI’ Secondary that joined the Trust in April 2017. The Trust believes that schools should be unique and individual institutions with distinct character and that through effective partnership we can challenge, support and learn from each other in order to raise standards and provide exceptional opportunities for all our young people. It is an exciting time to be joining SWECET with all schools continually striving to be better. Considered, purposeful growth plans are in place that will be to the benefit of all stakeholders. We were invited by the DfE as an approved sponsor to submit applications to open a new Primary Free School in Havering and Secondary Free School in Thurrock. These are both due to open in 2020.
