 “Success is a science; if you have the right conditions, you get the result.” So said Oscar Wilde and we say the same.

Whether you are beginning your career as an ECT or you have been teaching science for decades, to really inspire the next generation you need an environment with the right conditions. You need an environment where pupils genuinely want to learn. An environment in which your colleagues are as geeky about your subject as you are.  With the highest expectations of pupils’ behaviour and effort, we don’t accept excuses. Our teachers work very hard but they only ever do work which is going to make a difference for our pupils.

·        Being a good/outstanding classroom practitioner with a good understanding of how children learn;

·        Having a proven track record of raising attainment through their teaching and learning;
