Teacher of Secondary Science
Dates: January 2025 start
Salary: MPS/UPS and allowance
Contract type: Full time
Contract term: Permanent
Our highly qualified and successful Science department consists of a five strong collaborative and highly capable teaching team, supported by two experienced and exceptionally creative Technicians. The Science Department is housed in six state of the art, bright, high-ceilinged labs and two specialist preparation rooms, with impressive views of the local area. Our results have been increasing year on year, with GCSE results in line with national average progress 8 scores. As a department we are committed to improving outcomes and sparking interest, with small class sizes in all GCSE year groups. The required science practicals are only a small part of the number of practical lessons that occur throughout the year, and all Science lessons - from Year 7 upwards - are timetabled in specialist laboratories to support our approach.
Pupils are entered for AQA Science Trilogy GCSE with a significant number of students opting for Triple Science, which is one of the most popular GCSE choices at CFS.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach Science from Years 7 to 11. Due to the current expertise in the team – all three Sciences are ably represented – a specialist in Biology, Chemistry or Physics would be welcomed. Most secondary teachers at CFS are also tutors for a year-based tutor group; a time allowance is provided when undertaking this role.
