Job overview
This is a good school with great students. We want each one of them to aspire to be the best they can be without any limitations and it is important to us that our teachers feel the same.
We want you to apply if you are hungry to grow and learn yourself, have a keen interest in becoming the best science teacher you can be, building effective relationships and transferring to students the same love for science that you yourself will have.
In return we can offer you:
• A strong team ethos, with caring colleagues
• High quality, bespoke training to help teachers and leaders develop their practice
• Superb students with supportive families
The successful candidate will be joining a dynamic and well-led science team that runs a thriving STEM club with ambitions to grow further. You will need to be able to teach all three sciences to GCSE and, as science is popular at A level, the ability to teach physics to A level is desirable but not essential. The science department is very well resourced with teaching aids and equipment and each member of the science team has their own dedicated science lab and are well supported by three technicians.
All our teachers are supported in developing their professional practice through our own bespoke CPDL programme; and through our partnerships with both the Astra and Canons Park Teaching School Alliances.
We have a strong focus on education research to inform our practice and link closely with the Teacher Development Trust, NACE and SSAT.
Our staff tell us they genuinely feel like part of a team; a team who are striving to help each student flourish both academically and personally. That is important to us and if you are our kind of teacher, it will be important to you too.
It is an exciting time to join us as we embark upon a new school vision, in which you will play a key role. Our students and staff are keen to meet you and show off our fantastic school, so why not come and visit before you apply? This post would suit an NQT or a more experienced teacher and we very much welcome interested candidates to contact us to arrange an informal visit.
Please contact Hazel Baxter on 01273 729465 or email hazel.baxter@hays.com to arrange a tour or if you would like to receive an application pack.
If you are looking to relocate into the area and would like to enquire about accommodation. There is a possibility to rent in a house with two other teachers for approximately £500 per month (inclusive of council tax, Sky TV and all bills), in the beautiful local town of Chesham approximately 5 miles from The Misbourne. Please contact the school directly for more information.
Please email your application to: hazel.baxter@hays.com no later than Monday 24 June, 9.00 am. Interviews are scheduled to take place Thursday 27 June although The Misbourne reserve the right to close and shortlist prior to this date therefore early applications are encouraged.

About The Misbourne
As Headteacher it gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the trustees, staff and students to welcome you to The Misbourne. Thank you for showing an interest in working with us.
This is a good school where every student really does matter and where our team of professional and passionate staff works hard to instil the belief in each of them that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.
We believe that there are three things that are important to working in a school. Firstly, the students. We are fortunate to have polite and respectful students with well-supported families who want to work hard and do well but for some, lack the self-belief to really achieve their full potential. Secondly, a supportive staff body and investment in continued professional development. Staff are happy to work here and are very rightly proud of their school. They are supported by a comprehensive training programme that takes into account individual roles as well as career progression and aspirations. We are linked to two teaching schools and take a lead role in delivering training sessions for trainees from across Buckinghamshire.
Thirdly, our facilities. We are fortunate to have excellent facilities across the curriculum including a new building for the Sixth Form, English department and school café; extensive playing fields; three new IT suites and brand-new multi-million pound sports centre including dance space and fitness suite (free to use for staff). We have recently transitioned to Google in preparation for Year 7 commencing blended learning using chromebooks from September 2023.We believe that there are no barriers to learning that cannot be overcome. We strive for educational excellence in every lesson, every day, through a climate of high expectations, which are actively promoted in all aspects of school life. The Misbourne provides a learning environment that allows all students to flourish through mutual respect, kindness and a strong desire to achieve.
Through inspiring teaching; excellent pastoral care and strong partnerships with families and the wider community, our students leave us with the qualifications, skills and values needed to lead happy and successful lives and we are looking for similarly dedicated and inspirational colleagues to join us.
This is such an exciting time for the school and we welcome applications from prospective employees who share our vision, values and aspirations for students.
If you would like to visit us and see for yourself, I would encourage you to make arrangements for a tour via the school office admin@themisbourne.co.uk. Staff and students are exceptionally proud of our school and we would love to show you around.
