Job overview
Carre's Grammar School, Sleaford, is looking to appoint a Teacher of Science (Chemistry or Physics) from September 2024. Part time could be considered depending upon the knowledge and skills of the candidate.
We have 790 students on roll: boys only 11-16, and co-educational in the Sixth Form. The school has long been synonymous with excellence and the school’s reputation for providing a first-rate all-round education for local students has been strengthened even further over recent years. The Science department is perceived as a strength and asset in the school, with a large uptake in the Sixth Form. Our academic results speak for themselves while our achievements in Sport, Music and other activities are outstanding.
We have been recognised as one of the top schools in the country based on our performance in the last few academic years, and students have regularly accepted offers for Oxbridge and the top Universities. The friendly, cheerful atmosphere of the school helps our students enjoy learning and, as they grow into young men and women, we enable them to take increasing responsibility for themselves and for others around them.
To the right candidate, this post will be an extremely rewarding experience, an opportunity to really make a difference. I hope that having read the information and looked at the information on the website, you will decide that Carre’s is the right school for you and that you will make an application. To do so, please submit the application form and a letter of no more than two sides of A4 in which you should cover:
- Your experience of teaching to date;
- Your educational philosophy;
- Why this particular post would suit you;
- How you would contribute in taking this department forward; and
- Relevant interests that would enrich students at Carre’s.
Completed applications should be in school no later than midday on 26 April. Interviews will take place soon after this date, but we reserve to right to call candidates to interview before the closing date.
If you would like further information about the post or an informal discussion, please contact Mr Luke Whiting (Head of Science).
