Science Teacher

Are you creative, enthusiastic and highly motivated to teach? Can you captivate a classroom and get children excited about SCIENCE? We are recruiting for two science teachers to join a secondary school in Bristol.

One of the available positions is to start immediately and continue into the next academic year. The other will be starting in September 2018 and is also for the whole year. These roles are both full time. QTS and NQT status will both be accepted for this role.

Biology, Chemistry and Physics teachers should all apply. If you are able to teach A Level this is advantageous but not a requirement - however the successful candidate should be confident with both KS3 and KS4.

Science is such an important subject! It is SO important to our children's futures, especially with issues such as the environment and finding sustainable energy! We need teachers that are going to be able to get this across to a classroom of 11-16 year olds! The successful candidate will be confident leading a class and be able to engage the pupils well. Good behaviour management is also desirable for this role.

The School:

"We are an ambitious school and have high aspirations and expectations for every member of our community. There is a determination to ensure that we are all successful whilst maintaining a happy, safe and caring learning environment." - Headteacher

The school is a mixed comprehensive school for children ages 11-18 in the South Gloucestershire/North Bristol area.

The school is also part of the Castle School Education Trust.

"Castle School Education Trust is committed to high quality education across the primary, secondary and sixth form key stages. Our schools cover the South Gloucestershire area. We encourage independence within each school within a strong framework of values."

The latest OFSTED report does state that the school requires improvement, although since this the school has been taken under new management and is due a new inspection. The school has put in many procedures to ensure improvements have been made and is confident in the next report they will have achieved 'GOOD' in some categories. Leaders and managers are taking effective action and the school's improvement plans are fit for purpose.

However, pupil engagement is still an issue with pupils' attendance being below average, particularly for girls and disadvantaged pupils. The school needs any new staff it employs to be aware of this and help to combat this issue.
