Job description

Pegasus Academy are seeking an inspiring and dedicated Teacher of Science to join our thriving secondary school and wider Trust community.

The successful candidate will be committed to high standards of teaching and learning, and motivated to help every learner achieve their potential.

You will join a supportive and collaborative department, with access to excellent professional development opportunities across the Trust. Whether you are an experienced teacher or an ambitious Early Career Teacher, this is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in a school that values excellence, inclusion, and continuous improvement.

Pegasus is located just outside central Dudley at the intersection of several major roads and bus routes. It is the smallest secondary academy in the Trust with over 600 learners on roll.

Since the creation of the Trust, a large number of new senior staff have been appointed. There has been an extensive programme of refurbishment and investment in technology, and a considerable effort has gone into making the academy environment into something that inspires and motivates learners.

Pegasus is one of the fastest improving schools in Dudley, with learners making progress that is above the national average. GCSE grades improved markedly, as did the proportion of learners achieving Grade 5 or higher in both English and Mathematics. The academy has an active Arts & Design department. There is also effective support for learners with special educational needs (SEND) and a strong culture of safeguarding.

The Trust recognises that our staff are our most value asset and investing in our people is a key strategic priority. An extensive program of staff development is operated within school and across the Trust, and this is extended to senior and middle leaders, aspiring leaders, and teaching and associate staff.

You will be joining Pegasus Academy at an exciting time as we continue our journey to provide first class education for the young people of Dudley
