Teacher of Science with Chemistry Specialism

‘In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate most effectively have prevailed’ - Charles Darwin.

Whatever your level of experience in the classroom, it’s your passion for your subject that counts. To really inspire the next generation of scientists you need an environment with the right conditions where pupils genuinely want to learn. We prize this love of learning above all else. We need a talented Teacher of Science who has the passion to provide pupils with the best possible experience of this fascinating subject. Could it be you?

Our teachers work very hard but they only ever do work which is going to make a difference for our pupils. Quite simply, we believe in common sense approaches to everything. That means:

• Our teachers do minimal marking. Why spend ages with a red pen when there are much better ways to give pupils the feedback they need?

• We never ask for lesson plans. Of any kind. Ever.

• Everyone has the highest expectations of behaviour, with all staff (not just teaching staff)

reinforcing those expectations.

• A clear system of sanctions is applied consistently so staff don’t have to battle with pupils.

• CPD is tailored specifically to staff needs, based off their feedback. You will be able to

progress in your career, whatever stage you are at.
