This position is permanent and to commence in January 2025
A lovely, co-educational 11-18 secondary school located in between Aylesbury and Oxford is looking to appoint a highly motivated Head of Science who can inspire our exceptional students and drive them forward to achieve even better results.
You will need to have a strong subject knowledge and be able to teach students of all abilities and ages. As well as this you will be highly organised with excellent communication and time management skills, and have the enthusiasm and energy to join a high performing team striving for excellence.
This role would suit a candidate who already has leadership experience. Candidates must show a keen knowledge of Science curriculum intent and implementation.
This role includes the line management of the teachers in the department, the strategic development of the subject area and the continued improvement of student’s attainment in the subject from KS3 to KS5. This role also requires a post holder who is passionate about developing the schools CPD offer and the fostering of a school based research culture. We also believe that parents are a key group that would benefit from regular academic information to ensure they understand the way and the information their child is learning.
