Teacher of Science (maternity cover)

The Skinners’ School is currently seeking an enthusiastic and able teacher of Science to join a very successful department on a one-year (maternity cover) contract from September 1st 2024. The successful applicant will be required to teach at Key Stages 3 and 4, but there is potential to teach A level too. This will include teaching Junior Science and a specialist subject at Key Stages 4 and 5. We particularly welcome candidates with the ability to teach Physics. This role is open to full-time and part-time applicants, though in the case of part-timers, we are likely to need four days a week.

The Science department at Skinners’ achieves consistently excellent results across all Key Stages. The integrated junior science course represents crucial preparation for GCSE courses, which start in Year 9. All students take separate sciences at GCSE; all three sciences are popular at A level. Of the class of 2024, over 50 students have gone on to read individual Sciences, Engineering, Medicine or Natural Sciences at university.All teaching takes place in modern, spacious labs, many of which have been recently refurbished. All have digital projectors, interactive whiteboards and visualisers. There is also a suite of wireless enabled laptops solely for the use of the Science department, allowing individual or whole class work to be done using modern IT facilities.

The Science department is supported by three dedicated laboratory technicians and in addition has its own staff room where a considerable amount of information about teaching, learning and student progress is shared.

The closing date for applications is Monday 15th April 2024 at 12 noon with interviews shortly thereafter.
