A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Teacher of Science to join our college based in Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire commencing January 2015. In return we offer excellent resources and outstanding professional development.
The College is a very warm and friendly school with a fantastic student body and dedicated and talented staff. The Science department has an enviable track record in all subjects and has been in the top 5% nationally for value added.
The Science Department is the largest department in the College. It has seven laboratories, every lab has a Promethean interactive board and we also have a class set of laptops, and Ipads. All resources are centralised with excellent schemes of work and resources for all the courses we offer. Technician support is fantastic, and essential to the outstanding success of the department.
If you are an NQT this is a fantastic school in which to learn your trade. We provide excellent training and support for teachers new to the profession. Many of our NQT's have developed rapidly and gained promotion within our school.
Many of our Science Teachers are outstanding practitioners so you will have huge peer support. To put this into context, our previous Science NQT taught an outstanding lesson for Ofsted, and the department has been sought out to work with other science departments, both within and outside the county, to raise standards and achievement in GCSE.
If you are an experienced Science Teacher looking for a new challenge, this is also an excellent opportunity. We will commit to improving your pedagogy and you will enjoy working in a school where the students are hugely positive and keen to learn. Science is seen by the majority students as their best and favourite subject. The reasons they give are that they are successful and enjoy the huge range of practical activities we deliver.

About Huxlow Academy
We are incredibly proud of our school, a medium sized Secondary Academy (11-18), located in Irthlingborough, East Northamptonshire. As a fully inclusive school our students are a vibrant and varied mix that bring an energy that is not found in many other schools. The loyalty the students show for the staff and community, whom they recognise care so deeply about them, is what makes Huxlow a very rewarding and fun place to work. If you want to work with a team committed to making a difference to the lives of the young people in our community, we want to hear from you!
I believe that every student and staff member that walks through the doors of Huxlow is a valuable member of our community, and we work hard to ensure they are welcomed, supported and challenged to be the best version of themselves that they can be.
We are entering an exciting new phase in the history of Huxlow and are placing a pursuit of excellence at the core of everything we do. I hope that you feel inspired to aim high and come and join us as we strive to make Huxlow even better.
Academic success is hugely important to us as we recognise its power to open doors for young people. We have a rich history of students of all abilities, and from a wide variety of backgrounds, meeting and exceeding their potential.
In 2019, Year 11 students achieved some of the best GCSE results in the school’s history. 53% of students gained 5 GCSE’s including English and Maths at Grade 4 and above. Recent CAGs and TAGs have returned record progress data for the school for KS4 and KS5. We were delighted by these excellent results, which reflect the high level of dedication of both our students and staff. As the new Headteacher, I am committed to improving the school even further for our students.
We place an emphasis on respect for each other and working together to ensure that our community is constantly developing. Huxlow students are exceptional, staff go the extra mile, and we are dedicated to Professional Learning and Development.
Please explore our website, the recent Headteacher’s letters section and our social media, to gain a flavour of what it means to be part of the Huxlow Academy community. We hope you are as impressed by our school as we are. I look forward to receiving your application should you decide you want to be a part of the Huxlow team.
