Langley School
Location
Solihull, West Midlands | United Kingdom
Job description
£MPS/UPS £30,000 - £46,525 subject to annual progression
The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher of Science with the ability to teach at least two Sciences to GCSE and all Sciences to KS3. The successful candidate will be committed to facilitating high levels of student engagement and academic progress, creating a stimulating and positive classroom ethos and fostering independent and collaborative student-led learning. The Science faculty consists of highly qualified and experienced teachers across the Science specialisms therefore we would welcome applications from experienced and newly qualified teachers from any specialism.
Whilst this is a temporary, maternity cover post in the first instance, we are seeking to expand Science provision at Langley and there may be an opportunity for a longer term position in the future. We are investing in Science at Langley and over the summer of 2024, we are refurbishing all of our current Science Laboratories to ensure that pupils have a modern and attractive environment in which to learn and thrive.
Langley is a wonderful place to work and learn. We are a committed, compassionate community united in our mission to being fully inclusive, celebrating diversity and promoting equality in all that we do. Every learner matters and matters equally at Langley.
We were visited by Ofsted in March 2023 and were graded Good. We are very proud of our inclusive, welcoming school where pupils behave and learn in a calm and purposeful environment.
Our school’s fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the unique ethos of our school as well as our commitment to inclusivity.
