Teacher of Science

Our aim is to enable every child to **achieve more than they dreamed possible**, in a happy and inclusive environment where everyone is supported and encouraged to excel.

The Science department is made up of a team of 7 highly experienced specialised teachers and supported by a full time Lab technician who is instrumental in setting up practicals and supporting in lessons. The department has three purpose built fully equipped labs as well as a preparation room that allows for the provision of practicals to take place on a daily basis, thus ensuring that students learn through doing.

The department delivers **Pearson's Exploring Science International curriculum** to KS3 students. This syllabus provides seamless progression into the **Edexcel IGCSE** and also the **IAL **course, incorporating elements of independent learning and practical skills.

At KS4 the students study **Pearson Edexcel** biology, chemistry and physics with the latter two being optional, and begin studying the course content in year 9. The department is proud of their exam results at IGCSE.

At KS5, we deliver the Pearson Edexcel International A Level which builds on the KS3 and KS4 foundations. Students enjoy small class sizes which currently range from 2 to 5 and many of our A level students have gone on to study Medicine, engineering, and specialised careers in prestigious universities in the USA, UK and Europe.

Ability to teach ICT KS3 would be a benefit.
