Are you seeking a role that will excite and energise you? Would you relish the opportunity to join an exciting and progressive journey to transform education across our community?

We are seeking an inspirational and highly motivated Teacher of Science to join our talented and forward thinking department as we continue to transform education across our town. This post would suit a colleague in the early stages of their career who is looking for a role that goes beyond the traditional teaching post. The Twynham School and The Grange School federation (Twynham TGS) is firmly established in Christchurch, offering unlimited potential to deliver a truly exceptional vision for young people across the town.

Working across two schools and two different contexts provides unrivalled professional development for an ambitious teacher.

Science at Twynham is thriving. We offer both GCSE Double and Triple Award pathways, ensuring that all students can access a curriculum that challenges and inspires them. At Key Stage 5, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are among our most popular A level subjects, and we are proud to have recently introduced the new AAQ in Medical Science. Many of our students go on to study science related courses at university and pursue careers in scientific and medical professions, reflecting the strength of our provision and the dedication of our staff.

We are also proud to be part of the Bournemouth Bay Teacher Training Partnership, with the motto train local, teach local. We are committed to supporting colleagues as they begin their journey into the profession, offering an excellent two year ECT induction programme and continuing professional development throughout your career. This ensures that colleagues are supported not only at the start of their teaching journey but also as they progress into leadership and specialist roles.

This is a truly exceptional opportunity for a talented colleague who will relish the chance to teach Science across Key Stage 3 and 4, with the potential for specialist teaching at Key Stage 5. You will play a key role in further improving outcomes in Science, contributing to the ongoing development of the Twynham Learning Science curriculum, and working with exceptional colleagues to provide our students with the very best life chances.
