Teacher of Science

Maternity leave cover • 1.0 FTE

Maiden Erlegh Chiltern Edge is looking for a Teacher of Science to join our talented and committed Science Department. Over the last 2 years, we have not only academised but we have moved into the top 15% of schools in Oxfordshire for progress showing we have the foundations and support to provide excellent learning opportunities for all our students.

Our staff are dedicated, talented professionals who go the extra mile for the students because they are committed to helping them realise their dreams, achieve the greatest possible success, overcome any personal challenges. Our goal is to ensure all doors remain open to them in the future. Teachers are passionate about their subjects and focused on delivering varied and stimulating lessons. Support staff work tirelessly to ensure the school can provide the best education possible.

Our expectations are unapologetically high and, as a result of a varied and enriching curriculum as well as the on-going celebration of personal achievements and talents, students develop a raft of leadership and personal skills. It is a real pleasure to spend time with our students and to see them grow and develop into confident well-rounded and engaging young adults and positive and respectful citizens.

Professional development is a strength here, thanks to our Teaching School. We offer a flexible CPD programme which staff can tailor to their own needs which includes coaching and training for new entrants to the profession and to support career returners. We are very happy to discuss flexible working arrangements including part time working and job-sharing.

Unfortunately visits to our school are difficult at the moment, but if you would like to have an informal chat with our Headteacher, please email recruitment@maidenerleghtrust.org
