Teacher of Science

Outwood Academy Valley is an outstanding school in the North of Nottinghamshire at the gateway to the famous Dukeries, including Clumber Park. Situated in Worksop, a vibrant town with a historic market centre and a mining heritage, we work closely with the town’s other secondary school, Outwood Academy Portland to raise standards and transform lives of the children in the community. In December 2007 the school was rebuilt to provide a state of the art learning environment with excellent facilities for learning.

The post is a key appointment in terms of enhancing and ensuring the positive life chances for our students through success and achievement.  Outwood Academy Valley achieved fantastic results with 83% achieving 4+ in English and Maths and 64% achieving 5+.

The department has made huge strides in the last 12-15 months, whereby they achieved record results in 2018-19 with a Science progress score of +0.24. All 4 disciplines, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Combined Science had positive progress.  Attainment at 44+ and 55+ rose by over 30% from the previous year and above the national average for both measures in Combined Science, whilst our Separate Science students achieved 90%+ 444+ and 85%+ 555+, again the highest results in the Academy’s history. The department is proud of its achievements and would welcome an ambitious teacher to join its ranks. Applications from all subject specialists are welcome.  The opportunity to teach A-Level would be available for a suitable applicant.

You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’. Your relentless drive will ensure our students gain the best possible outcomes. An excellent knowledge and understanding of the subject is essential as is a passion for Science. Applications are invited from both newly qualified and experienced professionals. Full-time and part-time applicants will be considered.

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