We are seeking an experienced and passionate Head of KS4 Science to lead the development and delivery of the Key Stage 4 Science curriculum. This is an exciting opportunity for a dedicated teacher to inspire students, support academic excellence, and drive progress across GCSE Science.
We are a mixed 11–18 (11–16 from September 2025) non-selective converter academy with approximately 835 students. Uplands Academy converted to an Academy in September 2022 and became a member of the MARK Education Trust (formerly Beacon Community College Academy Trust). The acronym MARK was selected because staff who work in the trust are m otivated, a mbitious, r esourceful, and k nowledgeable. This partnership will provide many exciting opportunities for professional development and the sharing of good practice across the two schools. This is the start of a new era for Uplands and an excellent time to join our thriving rural school.
We work meticulously to secure a culture of unapologetically high expectations that are underpinned by our collective, uncompromising belief and ambition for the students of Uplands Academy and for the experienced, loyal, highly skilled and highly effective team of staff that teach them, allowing teachers to teach and students to learn. The Academy is committed to the development of both its staff and students.
