Teacher of Science

About the role

The Science Department is well resourced with eight well equipped laboratories and three prep rooms which enable a wide range of practical activities across all year groups. You will have the opportunity to join an experienced and dedicated team of teachers and support staff who are passionate about science. The science department has a variety of backgrounds and experiences which we utilise through our weekly co-planning meetings and shared resourcing.

You will also be supported by a Trust Wide Subject Lead and a national community of fellow subject experts who meet regularly to co-plan curriculum and to share best practise. This greatly reduces workload.

At Bobby Moore Academy, scholars study an ambitious and academic curriculum. We believe that sequencing matters. Our 5 year curriculum is sequenced to ensure that all scholars master essential disciplinary and substantive knowledge for success at GCSE, A-level and into a future career in the STEM industries.

At KS4 our scholars follow the AQA GCSE Chemistry, Biology and Physics specification. At KS5 our scholar will follow the AQA A-level Chemistry, Biology and Physics specification.

About our Academy

Bobby Moore Academy is an all through school, providing a world-class education for the children of east London. A school characterised by ambition and drive it is transformational in its impact on their life chances and we all as a community stand firm in our belief that;

We are situated across two iconic sites on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and our Secondary phase is now heavily oversubscribed. We are building partnerships with the new East Bank development, including the BBC, UCL, V&A East which is bringing incredible opportunities to the young people of East London.

Since the school was founded in 2017, we have set ambitious academic standards backed up by exciting enrichment opportunities, whilst nurturing and caring for the wellbeing of every child. At capacity, our two sites will accommodate over 1500 scholars, including a Sixth Form.

Built on the legacy of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games we enjoy world beating facilities including a competition standard 400m running track, full size football pitch and field events space, Astro-turf pitch, and state of the art classrooms and school buildings. Taking leadership inspiration from our namesake and the 1966 World Cup winning team we are inspired to generate transformational change for the young people in our care.

We believe that we operate the best House System in any state-operated school in the country. Our House system fosters a sense of belonging and unlimited potential. Each House represents a field of study and a character trait. Scholars apply to the House and figurehead that inspires them most, particularly in terms of the field of study they are interested in pursuing for a career.

Our figureheads are living people who visit the school, and support the scholars by acting as a symbol of where their ambitions can take them. House activities include competitions, inter-house sport, music and drama, house trips, PSHE lessons and career guidance relevant to their house, and visits from the house figurehead.
