We have an opportunity for an enthusiastic Teacher of Science to join our popular and successful department that delivers an engaging and exciting KS3 and KS4 curriculum. The Science team embodies our values and ethos, ensuring that teaching and learning practices are research-led and that the most recent research on cognitive science is at the forefront of their teaching practices.

Blaise High School is a disruption-free environment. This ensures that teachers can teach and students can learn every second of every lesson, day by day. Teachers at Blaise High School are the experts in the room; our school is set up to ensure that teachers can teach in an environment in which they are truly able to make a difference. We prioritise knowledge, delivering a knowledge-rich curriculum that is carefully selected based on knowledge that students will study at University. We believe in direct instruction and understand that the quickest way for children to learn something is to be told it. We work closely with The Greenshaw Learning Trust in the design and development of our curriculum. We teach in a traditional fashion; hard work and effort are emphasised and we have extremely high expectations of our children every minute of every day. Our lessons and units of work are structured in line with cognitive science principles.
We are committed to our values of Aspiration, Integrity and Pride. This means we expect the very best outcomes for all our students and that all of our students will work exceptionally hard every day. Our students show their pride in our incredibly high standards in uniform, the quality and quantity of work that we expect of our students, and our focus on manners in our interactions with children. We are a school rich in diversity and we celebrate this daily. All of us believe that all of us can be successful no matter our background or starting point. We work together as a teaching team to ensure we are consistently able to improve our practice. All teachers have access to a weekly professional development session, alongside a programme of personalised development via our 1:1 coaching sessions. Blaise High School is privileged to be part of the Greenshaw Learning Trust.
We are looking for colleagues who share our commitment to breaking down the disadvantage cycle. At Blaise High School, we work with a shared moral purpose; that is to close the attainment gap for disadvantaged children and take the school into the top 1% of all schools in the country for progress made. Our school is staffed by people who feel morally driven by teaching, who want to genuinely break the cycle of disadvantage. We recognise that this comes with challenges; however, we relish these challenges and work together to overcome them.
