Science Teacher

Project People are supporting a secondary school based on the North London / Hertfordshire borders. They are seeking to appoint an experienced Science Teacher from April 2020 on a permanent basis.

The role offers an exciting chance for a Science teacher to join a committed, large and vibrant team, comprising of thirteen members of staff. The department is extremely well resourced, benefiting from ten newly built Science laboratories. Staff also benefit from three specialist technicians to support them.

At Key Stage 3 students study topics across all three disciplines; the department has a standardised set of resources available for every teacher to use and adapt to suit the needs of their own classes. They have adopted a collaborative approach to planning to ensure that staff within the department have time to personalise their lessons and provide feedback to students. There is an active KS3 Science Club, which runs weekly and they also run the CREST Award programme.

They operate a three year KS4 with approximately 60 students taking Triple Science each year, following the AQA Combined and Triple Specifications. Science results in 2019 with Triple Science outcomes were significantly above the national average and A-Level Science is extremely popular.

In line with the whole school, the department has dedicated pedagogy and subject knowledge development time, which provides an invaluable opportunity for the department to come together and discuss research relating to our subject area, share learning and teaching ideas and genuinely work collaboratively to develop our practice as professionals.

The department is keen to continue to build on excellent results in 2019 and their popularity at A-Level. The school is open to applications for Science teachers with specialisms in any of the three disciplines.
