Science Teacher

We are looking to appoint a Science Teacher to join our busy Science Department from January 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Science department at Prudhoe Community High School has performed consistently well over recent years and is well respected by students, parents and carers alike. This reputation has been earned over a number of years and we are now looking for a new team member to both enhance the department and to continue to support our drive forward.

We are an enthusiastic and forward-looking team currently consisting of seven full time Science teachers with a range of teaching experience. The majority of teaching is done within the member of staff’s Science specialism. We are currently supported by one Science technician. Every member of the department plays an essential role in ensuring the highest quality of learning for each individual student, regardless of ability. We are a school that wants to be one of the best in the North East and as such it is essential that every team member is able to contribute to the development of teaching and learning and also provide an enthusiastic and productive learning environment for all our students. Curriculum time has been increased this year to offer separate science to all GCSE students reflecting the importance of this core area and our aim to offer an ambitious curriculum. As well as A level Biology, Chemistry and Physics we also successfully offer Applied Science to our post 16 students. All members of the department are expected to contribute to the delivery of this qualification. Early Career Teachers are welcome to apply.

We are strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.
