Job description

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher of science to join our experienced department with 6 fully equipped science labs and excellent technical support. This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who really wants to make a difference to the lives of young people. Our single goal is ‘Students First’ and you will be joining a strong team of professionals led by an experienced head of department working to this sole aim. Student outcomes are excellent year on year. Studying the AQA specifications, our top set of students study separate sciences with the remainder studying Higher and Foundation Combined Science. In 2025 across all science subjects, triple and combined, 76% of grades were at least grade 4 and above, 50% grade 5 and above and 25% grade 7 and above. Many of our students go on to pursue A Levels in science subjects post 16. We also run several enrichment activities at the end of the school day aimed at both supporting students in the run up to GCSEs and to widen the experiences of the subject by offering a KS3 science club.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust provides a high-quality learning and cultural environment that inspires and motivates children. Whether you are ambitious for progression or determined to be an outstanding classroom teacher, Outwood Academy Bydales is the place for you. Leadership development, succession planning and capacity building are major priorities for the Trust as this enables us to facilitate rapid progression for those who want to advance either in the classroom or at a leadership level.

You will be well supported by an experienced team of teachers and Subject School Improvement Partners as you work to raise attainment levels and offer an engaging curriculum experience that focuses on teaching for understanding
