Full Job Description
The Science department comprises 17 teaching staff, (11 full time science and 6 part time). They are ably supported by 5 technicians and enjoy modern, well-resourced accommodation in 11 laboratories. Established laboratories have been extensively refitted and new ones added to produce a suite which is well served by 2 preparation areas. A computer suite is centrally situated in the department and provides access through the school's network to a wide range of software applications.
Students are taught in ability sets from year 8. Tasks are differentiated throughout key stages 3 and 4 to provide an accessible curriculum which engages all students. There is a considerable emphasis upon learning through practical experience. Programmes of study are supported by documented schemes of work which provide a framework for the teaching team and a reference for equipment resourcing by technicians through a systematic ordering process.
Assessment in key stages 3 and 4 draws evidence from tasks, science investigation, classwork, home learning and tests. Marks are recorded centrally, and progress is monitored by teachers, key stage coordinators and the subject leader. Results at KS4 are excellent.
A-level courses in Science are popular. The department offers Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geology and students achieve outstanding results. The majority of A-Level Science students go on to study science at Universities including Oxbridge. The department has developed useful links both with major local industries and with Southampton University.
The departmental staff meets regularly both formally and informally and are committed to a high quality of science education for all students.
At our school we see our staff as our most important asset and therefore we are committed to developing each individual who works at Ringwood School. All staff have access to tailored CPD and will experience opportunities to progress further.
