Teacher of Science

Outwood Academy Brumby is a good school with outstanding leadership. Ofsted 2015 commented “Students enjoy coming to school” and students say “they are exceptionally well cared for and feel safe”.    

We are a thriving academy that plays an integral role in our community. The academy is popular and numbers on role are increasing significantly year on year. We have a talented team of staff, who are committed to improving the life chances of all students irrespective of their background or starting points. If you believe in raising standards and transforming lives, then this is the post for you.   

This is an opportunity to join our Academy at an exciting time as we strive for excellence in all areas, transforming the lives of the young people in our care. We have made vast leaps in GCSE achievement with the science department delivering overall positive progress in 2016 and 46.8% of our students achieved at least two GCSEs in Science (36.7% in 2015), with an improved projection for 2017.    

At GCSE, we teach AQA specifications in Core and Additional Science as well as separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics to a number of students. In addition to this, some students opt to study OCR Environmental Land Based Science and we believe that the diverse curriculum that we offer, prepares students well for the rigours of their GCSE courses and beyond.   

We are making carefully considered and sustainable changes which will continue to improve the achievements and hence, life chances of our students. Being part of the Trust comes with many advantages, including being able to access the extensive advice, support, resources, CPD and career opportunities available from the Outwood Grange Family of Schools.   

The Outwood Grange Family of Schools offers:   

• The opportunity to work and progress across the Family of Schools. 
• The chance to apply for leadership roles in the Deeps working across the whole Academy.  
• A full and detailed programme of support and development for all.  
• A further comprehensive programme of professional development provided through the Outwood Institute of Education (formerly the Teaching School).   

We believe that all teaching and support staff posts within our Family of Schools are key posts in terms of supporting student success and achievement across a broad range of subjects and experiences.    

As such we are keen to recruit dedicated and ambitious professionals who will add value to our Academy in both academic terms and through involvement in the fabric of learning and success beyond the classroom.
