Please note that we reserve the right to close this vacancy early, so candidates are encouraged to submit applications prior to the closing date.

The Science department offers a caring and supportive atmosphere where staff and students can excel. We have built on each other’s strengths to become a successful department.

Ideal Candidate: The ideal candidate will be an experienced and outstanding classroom practitioner with a proven track record of strong outcomes. This role may also suit an exceptional Early Careers Teacher.

Our Commitment: At WSE, we prioritize a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional, teacher-led, interactive teaching approach. We emphasize powerful knowledge, inspired by Doug Lemov’s ‘Teach Like A Champion,’ Rosenshine’s principles, and recent cognitive science research. Our teaching philosophy promotes a scholarly culture that is warm, disciplined, and joyful, ensuring impeccable behaviour to support effective teaching and learning.

Values and Vision: We are committed to providing an inclusive, aspirational, and academic education for all students. We are ambitious for every child, regardless of background or prior attainment, and strive to help them overcome barriers and succeed.

Staff Support: We value our staff highly and aim to manage workload effectively. Our systems are designed to enable teachers to focus on their core purpose—teaching—in a sustainable way, free from unnecessary bureaucracy and behavioural issues.

What We Offer:

• Extensive support and progression opportunities
• A knowledge-rich curriculum based on ‘powerful knowledge’
• Collaborative planning with shared resources
• Support from the MLP team
• A feedback policy focusing on whole-class feedback, without burdensome marking
• Disruption-free learning with a ‘warm/strict’ behaviour system
• Supportive senior leadership
• Centralised detentions
• No formal graded lesson observations, just ongoing supportive feedback
• Ongoing CPD, career development, and promotion opportunities
