Rossall School is among the most successful and prestigious independent boarding and day schools in the North West with flourishing pupil numbers.
With an enticing and highly aspirational culture, Rossall School is offering opportunities for exceptional educators to come and work with supremely talented, inspiring and compassionate professionals to teach our hard working, ambitious and delightful pupils.
We are now recruiting for a qualified, experienced and inspiring Head of Biology to join our thriving Science department from September 2025.
The Science Faculty consists of 13 teaching members of staff and a number of technicians. The individual sciences are taught from Year 9 and the many pupils sit GCSEs in the three separate sciences. Biology, Chemistry and Physics are popular options at both A Level and within the IBDP.
Classrooms are well equipped with interactive televisions in every classroom. The subject is well resourced and members of the faculty work collaboratively to develop resources, share good practice and ensure excellent student progress through careful tracking and monitoring.
The School is in the process of upgrading Science spaces. This is an exciting time to be joining the faculty as Head of Biology with an opportunity to influence both the refurbishment of physical spaces as well as the associated enhancements that will be made to the Science curriculum and co-curriculum.
The Biology Department collaborates effectively with other STEM disciplines to ensure the best organic experience for budding scientists. Recent Biology societies have included a Dissection society, Medstream Society, a KS3 CREST science club and preparation for Med/Vet university applications through activities, workshops and talks. The department also supports our pupil directed Eco Society and pupils and teachers love to be involved in the running and maintenance of the school farm.
