Part-time Teacher of Science (0.6) - temporary until August 2026 (maternity cover)
We are looking to recruit a Teacher of Science to work three days per week (Wednesday to Friday), to join us from Easter 2026 until August 2026 in the first instance. A full-time contract could be made available for the ideal candidate.
Beaumont Leys School is a highly successful 11-16 school. We were delighted to win the ‘School of the Year Award’ 2025 in the National Schools Awards. We are very proud of the progress our students make, and the destinations that our students go on to; many of our students have challenging backgrounds and low prior attainment on intake and so we are the beacon of hope for their futures. We believe that a high quality education leads not only to transformative exam results for students, but also in great character development. We want students to feel that they belong in our school and develop their sense of self-worth alongside an understanding of the positive impact they can have on those around them.
Together We Achieve Success is our motto and the driving force for our school. Our students thrive because our staff are dedicated to students’ success; to building positive relationships; and to collaborating and working as a team within a supportive environment. We are a school with a heart and soul, and we believe our job is to give our students the best possible chances in life, creating some fantastic lifelong memories along the way.
Our Science Faculty is forward looking and innovative, with an excellent reputation for maximising individual student potential. It consists of 12 members of staff led by a Faculty Team Leader who is supported by a number of TLR holders and is housed in a suite of rooms containing 7 purpose built labs, and also a general classroom. The faculty follows the AQA curriculum and delivers Combined Science Trilogy to most students with a smaller number completing the Triple Science qualification.
We work hard to recruit the best and then we support them to be even better. Our internal promotion record is impressive, even our Headteacher started with us as a newly qualified teacher. We engage extensively with local ITT providers, including Teach First and Researchers into School, and provide an excellent ECF support programme and a strong and well-evaluated programme of professional learning. Our teachers are always learners and as such role model everything we want for our students. Therefore, if you want a forward thinking, dynamic school to take your career to the next level, we would welcome your application.
We are committed to keeping children and young people safe from harm and abuse and to promoting their welfare, and we expect that everyone who comes to work for us will share the same commitment.
