Teacher of Science

Abraham Moss is a very interesting school located in and alongside the Abraham Moss Centre. It attracts a committed and stimulating intake of pupils from a socially and culturally diverse area. There is a superb range of highly motivated teaching and associate staff, all committed to high levels of achievement and participation in learning. Development of language across the school is key.

A well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of Science is needed from September 2016 to teach Science at Key Stages 3 and 4 - an opportunity not to be missed by a new or experienced teacher (a start date of the 1st July is available for any successful NQT appointments). This is a main scale job, however, experience and evidence of an excellent track record of results will be considered for any successful candidate.

The Science team is well resourced and enjoys excellent facilities.

The ideal candidate will:

• Be an outstanding and passionate teacher;
• Be a committed team player;
• Have the ability to engage and inspire pupils; and
• Be committed to inclusion and to ensuring that no child is left behind.

We place a great focus on staff development, at all levels with an extensive programme of professional development which offers a whole range of opportunities for colleagues’ development.

Abraham Moss is a school which achieves excellent levels of progress at Key Stage 4. We are an inclusive school which flourishes on diversity and community ambitions. There is barrier-free provision for pupils with physical and learning disabilities. Our ethos attracts pupils and staff who are committed to a multi-ethnic 3-16 comprehensive school where there is a strong ethos of good relationships, good teaching, curricular opportunities and high achievement.
