• A wide variety of clubs, trips, events, and opportunities
• Free onsite parking and access to the gym and padel tennis courts

We are looking for:

• An experienced 'A level' Biology teacher to collaborate with the Head of Science to enhance teaching and learning
• A qualified, enthusiastic team player passionate about the subject and capable of bringing it to life in the classroom
• A teacher committed to delivering active, engaging learning that motivates students to succeed
• An experienced leader to manage and organize the Biology department to meet its aims and objectives
• A teacher who can set challenging targets for students of all backgrounds and abilities
• A professional dedicated to their ongoing development
