Teacher of Science

To be an impactful teacher and tutor who nurtures, supports, and challenges all students, working with intention and determination to ensure every young person achieves their potential.

Love your subject. Stay invested in it, taking your own professional development seriously.

Deliver the curriculum as relevant to the age and ability group/subject/s that you teach.

Be responsible for the preparation and development of teaching materials, teaching programmes and pastoral arrangements as appropriate.

Do all you can to ensure that, as a result of your teaching (and tutoring), your students achieve well relative to their prior attainment, making progress as good as or better than similar students nationally and in the Academy.

Be aware of pupils’ prior knowledge and plan teaching and scaffold appropriately to build on this demonstrating knowledge and understanding of how pupils learn.

Have a clear understanding of the needs of the pupils you teach, including those with special educational needs; EAL; SEND; and be able to use and teaching approaches to effectively support them.

Demonstrate an understanding of and take responsibility for promoting high standards of literacy including the correct use of spoken English (whatever your specialist subject)

Make accurate and productive use of assessment to secure pupils’ progress.

Give pupils regular feedback and encourage pupils to reflect on progress, their emerging needs, and to take a responsible and conscientious attitude to their own work and study.

Use formative assessment to determine what students know and adapt teaching plans accordingly.

We are unapologetically ambitious and have the highest expectations and aspirations for our students throughout Years 7 to 11. We want all students to achieve highly, but alongside academic excellence, we aim to develop young people who leave the academy with a secure sense of identity and understanding of diversity and as well-rounded confident young people who are ready and able to embrace the challenges of adult life
