This is a permanent Academy contract. This will be maternity cover for 2024/25. There may be a need, subject to curriculum demand at Normanby in September 2025, for the successful candidate to undertake a short spell of science teaching at a neighbouring Academy, until a suitable long term post arises at Normanby. 

The Academy offers a warm and supportive environment for around 800 students in the area. The academy delivers excellent CPD and induction initiatives to prepare you with the essential skills to thrive in your role.
