Science Teacher Mainscale

If you are passionate about demonstrating how Science can shape young people's understanding of the world, and you are committed to working with students of all ages and abilities, we would welcome your application.

Caterham High School is proud of its inclusive ethos and welcoming culture. At the heart of our work is a strong commitment to improving the life chances of our young people. You will be joining a school community that supports an exceptionally diverse cohort and is driven by a clear moral purpose. Staff are encouraged to continually develop their practice to meet students' needs, gaining strong professional satisfaction within a school shaped by inclusion.

We are seeking motivated, reflective and independent professionals who are keen to contribute to the school's ongoing development. We value educational research and evidence informed practice, and we are looking for teachers who share this commitment. We are particularly interested in specialists of chemistry and physics.

This is an excellent opportunity for a talented and innovative individual to join our successful Sciences team. We are determined to improve outcomes for all students and to promote the importance of Science subjects in helping young people understand themselves and the world around them.

We are justifiably proud of our Good Ofsted judgement (June 2022), which recognised our positive learning environment and caring community. As a community school in East London, we celebrate diversity and rigorously promote equality and inclusion. We believe every student should feel valued, supported and challenged. We have two Alternative Resource Provisions - one for Deaf children and one for children with Autism - as well as inclusive Curriculum Pathways that enable access and support strong academic achievement.

Our most recent inspection noted that students "conduct themselves in a calm and orderly manner around school and behave well in lessons." Our students are polite, friendly and benefit from excellent relationships with staff.

Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are warmly encouraged to apply. We offer an excellent support programme for ECTs and trainee teachers and are active members of the Seven Kings Teaching School Alliance, providing a wide range of high quality professional development opportunities.

We are committed to staff development at all stages, including leadership opportunities, and there are possibilities to teach across the full secondary age range, including Sixth Form. Students finish early every second Friday to support professional learning as part of our strong and well established CPD programme.

Staff well being is a priority. We offer a range of well being activities, free access to our fitness suite and swimming pool, free parking, and a friendly, welcoming staff culture.
