“Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work.” - Thomas Edison
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Teacher of Science to join our thriving Science department. This is an exciting opportunity for an inspiring educator who is passionate about helping young people develop curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.
Our vision in Science at Didsbury High School is to create an ambitious and challenging curriculum that provides all students with the knowledge, skills and cultural capital they need to succeed in life and a depth of understanding that will enable them to pursue science beyond Key Stages 4 and 5. We offer a broad and deep curriculum that focuses on powerful knowledge and threshold concepts as we believe that mastery of threshold concepts is integral to students accessing powerful knowledge and gaining a deep understanding and appreciation of science. Our curriculum is ambitious and challenging, providing students with strong substantive knowledge whilst also gaining an awareness of the disciplinary knowledge of the subject. Students will develop their literacy and numeracy skills and build their cultural capital.
