About this Role

We are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of Science to join our successful Science department. This post could suit an ECT as well as a more experienced candidate. A specialism in Chemistry or Physics is desirable but is not essential.

The department is comprised of seven members of staff, including the Head of Department. Currently there are six GCSE classes, including one Triple Science class and three KS5 classes. Our key stage 4 and 5 results have been on a three year upward trend, making this an excellent time to join the Science team. The Department benefits from a weekly timetabled collaborative planning period.

The person appointed will be well supported through our teaching and learning coach, a well-established professional studies programme and through a comprehensive induction process.  The school offers bespoke CPD opportunities ranging from National Professional Qualifications support to supporting MA programmes.

Our recent OFSTED inspection in May 2024 made the following comments about teaching and relationships at school.:

• Pupils are highly positive about their school. Staff are highly ambitious for all pupils, and pupils recognise and value this.

• Pupils’ behaviour is good. Lessons are calm and purposeful. Pupils’ attitudes to learning are positive.

• The curriculum is ambitious for all pupils and provides a strong foundation for their future learning. In most subjects, staff clearly set out what pupils need to know, and the order in which they need to learn it.

• Teachers have detailed subject expertise.

Our school vision is to ensure every student realises their potential, through every member of our community having high aspirations for success, both within and beyond the classroom. You will be joining a highly skilled staff, who are supportive, show determination and resolve.

Why should you work at The Beaconsfield School.

• Highly supportive staff body, including a staff committee responsible for representing staff wellbeing

• Bespoke professional opportunities including support to undertake Masters and NPQ programmes

• Significant investment in a newly refurbished staff room and staff workroom

• Dedicated time within the school day for co-planning

• Free tea and coffee for all staff, we believe in providing the best possible working environment for staff and small gestures make a big difference

We are a school that have a desire and understanding of how to succeed and provide an environment that is stimulating to students and staff alike. We understand that this can only be achieved by investing in our staff and ensuring they are supported in their own professional development. We have high expectations of staff, as we do students. If you are someone who wants to develop as a professional and have a real impact on individuals, then we are the place for you.

You will be joining a highly skilled staff, who are supportive, show determination and resolve. We have a desire to continue our journey to being the best we can be, we are true believers in ‘Better never stops’ as it is the continual development that makes us what we are. We are also a school where teamwork and enjoyment is central to our success as it is these that keeps us going when times are tough.
