Job description

Job Title: Teacher of Science

Location: Langley

At Q3 Langley Our vision for learning is based around the whole child, ensuring no child is left behind. Our unique, innovative and exciting curriculum in Year 7 provides an excellent transition from Primary School. This enables pupils from all starting points to make rapid progress and enjoy their learning whilst improving their literacy skills.

Within TheTrust we are proud that our ethnically and culturally diverse community is fully represented by the students and staff at each Academy. The Q3 ethos; 'to seek that which is good, that which is right and that which is true,' fully embraces the fundamental British Values of democracy; the rule of law; individual liberty; mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.

Students will be taught in mixed-attainment classes for their Core lessons. These follow the English Baccalaureate suite of subjects - English, mathematics, science, modern foreign languages, geography and history. Outside of the Core subjects students follow a carousel of teaching in the Horizon or Innov8 curriculum. This broad and balanced curriculum focuses on developing knowledge and skills in computing, business, design, religious studies, PSHE, art, dance, drama and music.

We use strategies within the curriculum and beyond to ensure these values are communicated and acted upon.

At the Academyour spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) education permeates through the curriculum, supports the development of the 'whole child' and includes the teaching and development of British Values.

The Academy seeks to continuously review and evaluate its work by gaining external accreditation. The successful completion of the awards listed below demonstrates that SMSC and British Values are incorporated into the daily life of the Academy:

• Discovering Democracy Award for promoting youth participation and democracy in schools

• Duke of Edinburgh Award

• Army Cadet Force

• Sandwell Shape Awards

Furthermore, our Wednesday afternoon offer of either physical education or enrichment will ensure all students take an active part in developing skills and talents they may not know existed before! No wonder we are the proud winners of Secondary School of the Year with Education Today in 2024 and also shortlisted as TES Secondary School of the Year in 2024.
