This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher to deliver Science at Lacon Childe School.

Science is a thriving and very popular subject at Lacon Childe School. At Key Stage 3 Science is taught three times a week, where pupils have one lesson of Biology, Chemistry and Physics each taught as separate subjects by separate teachers. At Key Stage 4 all pupils follow the Edexcel Combined Science specification, with 9 hours a fortnight split into three lessons of each Biology, Chemistry and Physics. There is also the opportunity to opt for the Separate Sciences course where pupils then have an extra 5 hours a fortnight of Science lessons.

Science is taught in dedicated laboratories, it is well resourced with a lab technician. The successful candidate will be able to teach all three sciences at Key Stage 3, with a particular focus on Physics at Key Stage 4 and will be able to inspire learning, promote interest in the subject and ensure high achievement, both within the curriculum and through extra-curricular activities such as lunch time clubs.
