Job overview
We are looking for an outstanding Science teacher to join a successful Science Department and supportive team of staff with the capacity and commitment to raise student achievement even further.
The team of Science teachers at Bishop Bell teach across the full age and ability range. There is also the opportunity to teach Triple Science in a preferred specialism, with about 60 pupils following this route in each cohort from year 9. We aim to foster a love of Science in the pupils we teach, by planning interesting and challenging lessons that engage all learners.
There is an open, friendly and collegiate atmosphere within the department. We believe it is crucial that new members of the team are welcomed and supported. All teachers contribute to the development of shared resources, and we regularly run internal inset sessions. This approach has seen us develop many innovative new teaching strategies.
We have a condensed two year Key Stage 3 and, therefore, a three year Key Stage 4. Currently pupils follow the OCR Twenty First Century Science suite of GCSEs, taking either Core and Additional or Triple Science. We will shortly be deciding which exam board to adopt when the new GCSEs are published later this spring. We set pupils by ability at the start of Year 7, and we structure the curriculum pathway to allow regular opportunities for pupils to move between groups.
We would welcome applications from experienced teachers of Science who may be interested in taking on additional responsibilities, for example a commitment to driving progress and raising attainment in Science or a flair for leadership and innovation, and a TLR up to TLR 2b will be available to a suitably experienced candidate.
We would also welcome applications from newly qualified Science Teachers.
Ongoing improvement in the teaching and learning of Science at Bishop Bell is of the utmost importance. We are seeking to employ new members of staff whose passion for Science and enthusiasm for teaching reflects our ethos.
Completed application forms and letters of application should be sent directly to the school addressed to Mrs S Windsor, Head of Personnel, SWindsor@bishopbell.co.uk, and arrive by no later than noon on Friday 1 May 2015.
Closing date: 12 noon, Friday 1 May 2015
About St Catherine's College
We are St Catherine's College. We are a Church of England Academy that has children at the heart of everything we do.
Our smart, well behaved pupils are happy and proud of their school. We are a high achieving school with children who are well prepared for their next steps in life.
We are fixed upon progress for all. Pupils benefit from smaller classes in English and Maths, as well as additional support when they need an extra boost to accelerate their progress. We are blessed with excellent teachers who are happy and stay here. The teachers, the tutors and our expansive pastoral team work with each child to help find their 'missing piece' so that they can reach their God-given potential.
We are different, and what sets us apart is that we are the only Church of England Secondary School / Academy in East Sussex. Parents send their children here because we insist upon high standards and firm boundaries, all underpinned by our Christian foundation.
We are a college that teaches and explores the value of resilience. This resilience is in part why our students are more likely to stay on and succeed in further education than their peers nationally.
We are creative and maintain a broad and varied curriculum with Art, Dance, Drama, Music, Food Technology and Motor Vehicle all featuring in our curriculum as we recognise the value of developing the whole child experience. Beyond a rich mix of Sport, Drama, Dance and Music, we also offer chess, gaming, our Mandarin Academy, host the Pauline Quirk Academy and offer so much more...
We are St Catherine's and it is our mission that every child achieves his/her God-given potential. We aim for every student to rise to challenges, to enjoy learning and to feel a sense of belonging.
