Science Teacher

We are looking for a Science teacher who believes in building strong relationships with students, is passionate about their subject and is willing to go the extra mile to support pupils in being successful. Applicants will be ambitious, enthusiastic, and highly motivated teachers, determined to achieve the highest standards for the students that they teach. You would be expected to develop, plan and deliver effective and high quality learning experiences to all students across key stage 3 and 4.

The Science Department has a strong track record of success built upon a strong and engaging curriculum. Pupil outcomes are consistently above the national average. The department have benefitted from significant investment in recent years and the school now boasts 9 well equipped and modern laboratories. This is an excellent opportunity for a forward-thinking colleague who is passionate about Science and professional development to harness their teaching skills in a supportive and dynamic school and Trust.

Why William Edwards School?

William Edwards is a large, successful, harmonious and thriving mixed 11-16 comprehensive school. Pupil outcomes across the school are historically strong. However, attending William Edwards is about so much more than just GCSE outcomes. We firmly believe that school days should be the best days of your life and that schools have a moral purpose to extend the life experiences of their pupils. That is why we boast the largest Duke of Edinburgh cohort of any school in the East of England and we are also one of only two schools in the East of England to hold the Arts Mark Platinum Award. Character education and providing a wealth of different experiences to our pupils is important to us.

We were delighted that our last Ofsted inspection report noted that “pupils who spoke to inspectors were effusive about their experience in school” and that “the breadth of curriculum opportunities available at the school is a real ‘gem’ in the school’s offer to its pupils”.

You will be:

• Committed to the Trust’s vision and values
• At the forefront of education practice
• Inspirational and innovative
• An outstanding teaching practitioner
• A proven leader and manager
• Experienced in curriculum design and delivery
• Experienced in professional development and training
• Able to plan and think strategically
• An excellent communicator.
