Teacher of Science

THE ROLE

The Grange Academy is excited to be recruiting for the position of Teacher of Science. Here are just a few reasons to join us:

• A centralised and mapped curriculum: which means you can focus on preparing to teach great lessons
• A commitment to professional development: from subject-specific CPD to broader teaching strategies, we invest in your development as a teacher.
• Extra PPA: teaching great lessons requires planning time so we prioritise this.
• Incredible facilities: teach in a state-of-the-art environment, including our impressive “mega” lab, designed to inspire scientific curiosity.
• A centralised behaviour system: spend less time managing behaviour and more time doing what you love – teaching science.

The Teacher will ensure that high-quality learning takes place, and that outstanding attainment and progress are secured at all key stages.
