Science Teacher | Hillingdon, London | September

Are you a Science Teacher looking for a role in a school where Science sits at the very heart of what it does, facilities are purpose built and pupils make strong progress?

A mixed, non-selective academy in the London Borough of Hillingdon is looking to appoint a Science Teacher for a September start.

The school was rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023, with particular strengths noted in progress, destinations and sixth form outcomes. It is a Technology and Applied Learning Specialist College, meaning Science and Mathematics benefit from a dedicated, state of the art building that very few schools in the area can match. This is a school where Science is a genuine priority, not an afterthought.

School and Science Teacher role overview:

• Mixed 11 to 19 converter academy with around 930 pupils on roll
• Bespoke, purpose built accommodation for Science with dedicated specialist facilities
• Science Teacher role teaching across KS3 and KS4 with sixth form potential for the right candidate
• Progress 8 score in the top 9% nationally and Attainment 8 in the top 28%
• Outer London MPS1 to UPS3

As a Science Teacher, you will be joining a department that benefits from excellent resourcing and a curriculum that is carefully tailored to meet the needs and abilities of every student. Science is taught as part of a broad KS3 National Curriculum, with all students continuing into separate sciences or combined science routes at KS4. The school's specialism in technology and applied learning means there is a strong culture of enquiry, critical thinking and practical engagement embedded across the sciences.

Teachers at this school are recognised for their strong subject knowledge and the quality of their resources. Ofsted noted that teachers' expertise is genuinely appreciated by pupils, which creates an environment where learning is taken seriously and students respond well. Behaviour is generally respectful and conducive to learning, and safeguarding arrangements are effective and well embedded.

The school has a culture of confidence and ambition, where effort, participation and achievement are actively celebrated. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and a new leadership team is continuing to strengthen the curriculum and systems across the college. This is a school in a positive moment of development and a good time to join.

Early Career Teachers are well supported and experienced Science Teachers will find opportunities to contribute to curriculum development and take on wider responsibility within a growing and collaborative team.

The successful Science Teacher will bring strong subject knowledge, a commitment to inclusive teaching and the ambition to make a real difference for students from a wide range of starting points. Applications are welcomed from both ECTs and experienced teachers.
