You will teach Science across Key Stages 3 and 4, helping students to develop secure scientific knowledge, curiosity about the world around them and the confidence to achieve well.

We want teachers who combine high expectations with excellent relationships: teachers who know their students well, explain new ideas clearly, model effectively, check understanding and respond to what students know and can do.

Whether you are joining us as an experienced practitioner or at the beginning of your career, you will be supported to develop, grow and make an impact.

This role could be for you if you:

• are passionate and enthusiastic about teaching Science;
• are an excellent classroom practitioner, or an ECT with the potential to become one;
• can engage, enthuse and motivate young people;
• have high expectations of students' learning, behaviour and achievement;
• are ambitious for the achievement of every student, regardless of background or starting point;
• are committed to inclusive classroom practice and meeting the needs of all learners;
