In Science, we have a balance of teachers from all three scientific disciplines, and collaboratively plan to ensure all teachers are engaged with our spiral curriculum. We seek to enrich our students’ learning with opportunities to discover new talents and passions, to learn about the world they live in, and develop values to be proud of. Our students love to learn Science, and many of them continue this interest into Key Stage 5 and beyond. We are fortunate to have bespoke teaching spaces, as well as two full-time technicians to support with the running of the department and ensure the best opportunities are open to our students throughout their time with us. As well as working with the team within the school, you will also be supported by the Director of Science for our trust and will belong to the trust network of schools in the local area to share best practice.

 At Corby Technical School, we believe in open and transparent leadership. We are a team who are receptive to making changes where an opportunity for improvement is identified. We encourage our leaders to lead by example, be professional ambassadors for the school, and contribute positively, upholding the school values. Leaders at Corby Technical School are always flexible in their work, responding to the needs of the school, and are motivated to ensure that an exceptional education is provided for our young people. We are seeking to appoint a leader with high aspirations for staff and students alike, who models professionalism in every aspect of their work.
