About the role

TEACHER OF SCIENCE
Full time / Full year / Permanent
MPS-UPS £28,000 – £43,685 per annum
TLR for the right candidate
Start date September / December 2023

Required for September or December 2023, a high quality Teacher of Science to join a successful and experienced team within this high achieving school.  This high attaining department is looking for either experienced or newly qualified teachers with a passion for Science and a commitment to the success of all pupils.  The ability to teach across KS3&4 is essential.

The Science team at Willingdon currently consists of nine full time and three part-time teachers.  They are supported by a team of Science Technicians. The Science department is a vibrant inclusive group of individuals all striving to encourage more students to study science beyond school and college. We have expanded our range of extra-curricular activities this year to include things such as STEM clubs, robotics groups, advanced science programs, trips to the national science museum, entering Olympiad competitions, but we are always looking for new and exciting ventures.

In Years 7 and 8, students follow the Collins Scheme of Work.  Students are taught biology, chemistry and physics modules, each module lasting for approximately eight lessons.  Knowledge and skills acquired by students are assessed at the end of each module.  The aim of this course is to introduce students to the ideas covered at KS4 and provide them with the essential prior knowledge required to embark on the GCSE curriculum.  In Years 9, 10 and 11 all students work towards completing biology, chemistry and physics GCSEs.  Each class currently has one teacher to deliver all of the specialisms.  The modular approach started at KS3 is continued into KS4 and modules from each specialism are taught in rotation.  Students record lesson notes and assessments in their exercise books.  Required practical work is written up separately and stored in a folder which is kept at school.  At the end of each module, students sit a summative assessment which generates an attainment grade for that module.

Regardless of past levels of success, the striving for excellence never stops.

Willingdon Community School is committed to child protection/safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, we expect all staff and volunteers to share this duty of care.  All applicants will be subject to safer recruitment procedures and will require satisfactory references and an enhanced DBS check.
