HEAD OF SCIENCE
FULL-TIME/ PART-TIME
We do things differently at Canbury - because everyone is different. If you are an inspirational and experienced science teacher, and know how to teach in a way that is accessible to all, then come and join us. We know not everyone learns in the same way so we teach in many different ways. In fact, we never try to stick square pegs in round holes here, so tell us how you are different and show us how you can teach the subject from Year 7 to 11.
The science teachers at Canbury are so much more than excellent with a bunsen burner and a petri dish. Working as part of a team is vital and you should be able to work constructively within a cohesive and busy school where the children are genuinely at the heart of everything we do. It is essential you enjoy working with young people, and you will need to be comfortable working with neurodiverse students and have that strong commitment to differentiation (both support and stretch) within the small class size.
We have a fully equipped science laboratory with a prep room and IWB. Science is supported by a highly experienced technician.
