We are a unique, small, rural 11-16 academy in the beautiful setting of North-West Worcestershire. Our pupils are happy, well behaved and proud of their school. The academy has a strong vein of moral purpose where the child is at the heart of all we do. We invest in our pupils and our staff to ensure all are supported to be the best they can be.
We are growing our Science team and, as a result, are looking for a driven, committed and reflective practitioner to teach Science at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. At Key Stage 4, pupils will opt to take either AQA Triple Science or AQA Combined science. Pupils love their Science lessons at Tenbury High. The team are forward thinking, ambitious and collaborative. We are a very well-resourced department considering the size of the school, and able to run all the required practical lessons at KS4 and we even have a class set of data loggers that we are now beginning to build into the curriculum. The current Science team consists of two full time staff (including a faculty lead), three part time staff (including our Vice Principal) and a full-time job share Science Technician. There is very little out of specialism teaching.
We invest in our pupils and our staff to ensure all are supported to be
the best they can be. If you are
applying for an ECT or UQT post, you
will be supported through the relevant training network by a subject mentor (likely
to be Head of Science) and a professional mentor (Vice Principal in charge of
Quality of Education and staff training) . We use a variety of well-established
and successful training and induction programmes. If you are an experienced
teacher you will attend weekly whole school CPD opportunities as well as the
chance to join a wider OAT training network.
Our new colleague will also benefit from being part of Ormiston Academies Trust, one of the oldest and largest school trusts in the country. OAT’s vision is for all young people to have access to the highest academic, social and practical skills required to achieve their full potential. OAT support all staff so that they can enhance and develop their professional skills whatever their role within the trust.
Ormiston Academies Trust is an ethical sponsor, committed to improving the life chances of young people. We share their vision for all young people to have the highest academic, social and practical skills to allow them to lead a fulfilling life.
