Job overview
Teacher of Science, North Tyneside
One year fixed term contract
Required for September 2014. This is an exciting opportunity to join a very successful and thriving Science department in this Outstanding school.
Our school has a really positive ethos, with very strong pastoral and academic guidance and a real emphasis on learning in everything we do. We were inspected by Ofsted in May 2012 and were graded as Outstanding in every category and overall. We were the only secondary school to achieve an Outstanding judgement in the whole of the North East in 2012. Such significant progress has only been possible because we have a committed, enthusiastic and highly skilled staff team, a supportive governing body and superb students. We genuinely believe the support, care and welfare of our students is second to none and we are a school which puts the students at the very centre of all that it does.
Ofsted said that our students receive "a first-class education" but we are not a complacent school. There are many aspects that we can improve further and our challenge is to do this without compromising our existing strengths.
If you are an enthusiastic, innovative and creative teacher with a high level of professional and interpersonal skills, we would like to hear from you. Applications from NQTs are welcomed and an excellent programme of support is in place to ensure a successful induction.
Interested applicants should contact the school for further details and an application form up to Friday 4th April 2014. After this time application packs can be found on our website at www.gshs.org.uk
Closing date for applications: Noon on Wednesday 23rd April 2014.
