Endon High School are looking to recruit for a teacher of science to cover a maternity leave for 2 days per week.
The science department vision is that students will gain a broad knowledge of the work of scientists that came before them and explore the world through practical investigation. They will be able to use their knowledge to explain and predict the workings of the natural world.
The delivery of this vision is led by an experienced team of teachers collaborating to produce outstanding lessons and learning experiences for our students. Students are supported in their lessons with individual access to iPads which has opened a range of new possibilities for learning. This has been fully embraced in the science department and enhances our students’ lessons by improving how check for understanding and give effective feedback to students.
Students are taught to the full extent of the curriculum from their first day in year 7 and pushed to be the best they can be. We offer the option to study separate science to students at the end of year 9 and strive to provide opportunity for all that wish to do so. Many students choose study science beyond GCSE as a result of their study at Endon High School and are highly successful when they do so.
Candidates will be informed on Wednesday morning if they have been shortlisted and details of the interview day will be shared in preparation for Friday's interviews.

Shaw Education Trust are a thriving mix of diverse and growing schools including Primary, Secondary and Special Schools all working together to improve the lives of young people in our communities. We are sponsored by Shaw Trust a charity organisation that focuses on transforming lives. We’re a growing group of dynamically awesome academies providing education to children of all ages and abilities. Staff across our team of schools are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to be successful, whatever their starting point in life.
In our secondary schools, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to curriculum design, to ensure all our schools have breadth and ambition for all students, regardless of their starting points and barriers. Standard curriculum models don’t always engage all students, so we constantly seek to innovate and provide better opportunities to develop both knowledge and skills for life. We want our students to believe their curriculum is bold, exciting, purposeful, and ultimately leads to something meaningful for them. Some examples of our innovation include moving towards an extended school day, to provide a world class enrichment programme and more opportunities for essential skills like reading and cultural capital. We are also introducing vocational and technical pathways, which run through the normal
school curriculum but attract support from leading employers and universities to develops work-readiness in our students, so that they can progress onto T Levels and apprenticeships.
We are currently at an exciting point in their evolution, with collaboration at the heart of our collective endeavour. We don’t operate in silos: we value the power of the pack and strive to collaborate as a collective, ensuring no school or colleague is left behind. We are currently co-constructing an aligned curriculum across all EBacc curriculum subjects,
to create a world class curriculum, rich in powerful knowledge and skills. This is driving up standards through the sharing of the very best practice, whilst allowing each school sufficient flexibility for autonomy to do what is right for their local context. A by-product of this approach has been the reduction in planning workload for colleagues, meaning they can spend more time on the things that matter and fostering strong relationships with pupils and delivery of the curriculum.
