Job Description
Goole Academy is looking to appoint a Teacher of Science to join our academy in September 2025, on a full-time, permanent basis.
Are you looking for a role that will enable you to influence and give direction to the children in your classes? Do you want to work for a Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you.
Your New Role
We have an exciting teaching opportunity and are looking for an outstanding, committed, and motivated teacher to contribute to the development of teaching and learning and curriculum in our Science department. This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious and proven classroom practitioner who can display a real passion for developing and inspiring the pupils in their care.
Your New School
Goole Academy serves a local community which has its roots in industry, coupled with a rich maritime history. Located just off Junction 36 of the M62; many students, but not all, live within walking distance. The Academy is fed by a total of 10 primary schools which vary significantly in size. There has been a recent surge in popularity with the overall number of children on roll rising sharply. Numbers in Key Stage 4 are progressing towards our Pupil Admission Number (PAN) of 210. However, in KS3 we have had a record number of first choice applications with us exceeding PAN for the last three years with 240, 270, and 270 first choice applications. This is unprecedented for us, and the trend looks set to continue. From September 2024, we will have close to 1300 children on roll. An increase of almost 450 children in the last four years. Goole Academy has become the school of choice in the local area.
Education
The Academy prides itself on providing its students with a first-class education. Since joining Delta Academies Trust, the school has moved on a strong upward trajectory. Huge improvements in the quality of education have seen academic outcomes improve significantly with levels of student, staff, and parent satisfaction that have never been better. Highlights from this year include:
1. Consistently high performing; last year saw us become the top school in both our Trust and Local Authority for Progress 8 (over +0.5 for 3 years running). This ranked us in the top 300 schools in England.
2. A successful Ofsted inspection which saw the school achieve a Good grading.
3. Huge investment across the site with the opening of a £1.6 million dining room extension, new ICT facilities, and renovated classrooms, all to the highest specification.
Why Join Us?
Our staff are talented and enthusiastic and have all contributed to the academy's success story. We have a staff rewards budget and socialize both as subject teams and as a whole staff. We also have access to a staff benefits scheme. At Goole, we value the continuous professional development of all our employees and recognize that our staff and students are most successful when they feel happy, valued, challenged, and supported to achieve their very best.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an outstanding team within a high-performing multi-academy trust with exciting career prospects for successful applicants.
