Teacher of STEM

At Moreton Hall we are passionate about STEM and have recently opened a new Science Building with state of the art laboratories and exceptional teaching facilities. With a large number of girls going on to study STEM subjects at university we are looking for an outstanding teacher to join our STEM Department.

The successful candidate would work with our STEM Team to ensure the delivery of first class teaching across the school with particular emphasis on Key Stages 3 and 4. The profile of Moreton Hall as a Centre of Excellence for STEM teaching for girls (and also boys in Moreton First) has been growing year on year and we are looking for a candidate to join a team that is committed to building on this reputation.

Be familiar, confident and innovative with the use of ICT in STEM teaching.

Assist in the development of STEM as a career choice for pupils at Moreton Hall.

Moreton Hall is one of the leading girls’ (and boys’ to Year 6 in Moreton First) boarding and day schools in the country and has been commended for the excellence of its teaching and learning. Top non-selective school in the country according to The Times.

GCSE:  

91% achieved A*-A (or equivalent)

100% A*- B in Triple Science

Candidates would be expected to participate fully in the life of this busy boarding school. A strong commitment to our extracurricular activities programme would be of particular importance. The successful applicant will be enthusiastic, reliable and flexible in approach.
