We are seeking to appoint a qualified, creative and enthusiastic person to cover for our Head of Science who is going on maternity leave. The individual we require is one who is passionate about Science and determined to make a difference.
This is a one year, fixed term post or until the return of the postholder (if earlier).
The school has been through change in recent years including joining the Lighthouse Schools Partnership (LSP) Multi Academy Trust alongside several our feeder schools and Gordano and Backwell secondary schools.
The school has a distinctive character and ethos which is unashamedly child-centred and emotionally intelligent in the way relationships are managed between staff, parents, students, and governors. The school has a House system at the heart of its culture with vertical tutoring as a key facilitator. There are four houses - Bilbie, Hauteville, Moreton and Rodney.
The closing date is Friday 13 September 2024 at 9am.
