About the School
The Governors of St Hilda’s wish to appoint a qualified and knowledgeable Teacher of Science to work with our science department ideally from April 2025 or September 2025. The successful candidates would become part of an enthusiastic and hard-working team. St Hilda’s, which is situated on the edge of Sefton Park in South Liverpool, is a welcoming and supportive community. We have high expectations of behaviour and there are excellent relationships between staff and students, based on mutual respect.
St Hilda’s is a high-performing, over-subscribed comprehensive school with a Sixth Form. In 2021, Ofsted judged the school to be Good. In 2023 SIAMS Keeping On Track (church schools’ inspection) report highlighted 'The empowering and reflective Christian leadership of the Headteacher inspires and drives improvement and ensures that the school’s Christian distinctiveness and purpose are of the highest priority. She is strongly supported by the leaders of the Cornerstone Curriculum, the heart of the community’s Christian ethos and purpose. The Staff’s commitment to the shared vision and virtues ensures that they are effective role models and are helping to provide an environment in which all have the opportunity to flourish.' We are unashamedly a Christian school.
About the Role
The successful applicant will be joining a warm and friendly team comprising 11 teaching staff who teach science across the three key stages and teach their subject specialism at KS4 and KS5. The science department has 7 newly-built laboratories which are well resourced with excellent ICT facilities and supported by 2 full time technicians.
Science is a popular subject at St Hilda’s, with many students opting to study Biology, Chemistry and Physics at A level, as well as Level 3 BTEC Applied Science. At KS4, students can opt to take separate sciences, or to complete the trilogy course. The science department is a strong and supportive team who work together to get the best for our students.
Personal Qualities
As the successful candidate, you would be joining a very close-knit, highly supportive family. We have made some significant changes; becoming co-educational, changing our vision and values, but we know that we can improve further with the right people.
