We aspire to be the best school in the world with a dynamic learning community which nurtures and inspires every individual to be the best they can be. Our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Purpose are at the heart of everything we do across the school.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of chemists within a dynamic and forward-looking Science faculty. Students study a general Science course based on the National Curriculum in years 7 and 8, before starting the Edexcel IGCSE Science courses in year 9. Both double and triple award IGCSE programmes are offered. In the sixth form students can choose A-level Chemistry or Chemistry as part of the IB Diploma. The successful candidate will preferably have either A-level or IB Diploma experience and will be a strong team-player with experience of collaborative planning and assessment at all levels. A commitment to using e-Learning resources and data logging within the teaching of Chemistry is expected. Technology integration via iPads, Surface devices and OneNote is a key developmental area, and classroom practice throughout the school is heavily influenced by the IB Approaches to Teaching and Learning. Experience in these areas will be an advantage.
