We expect the successful candidate to comply with such procedures, understanding that when an Academy rows together, students can learn in a safe and consistent environment.

Job Purpose:

• To work with the Curriculum Director to ensure that the department runs efficiently at all times
• To be responsible for the support and guidance to the Technicians within the department

What the school offers its staff

Q3 Academy Langley opened its doors in September 2016, becoming the first brand-new secondary education provider in Sandwell in a decade. We are looking to add to our fantastic team of dedicated, hard-working colleagues, who contribute to a wonderful culture of work.

Our curriculum model is focused primarily on the EBacc subjects, forming our Core. Additionally, we have a project-based, cross-curricular provision (Horizon, Innov8 and Cloud 9) that develops student learning both academically and holistically. Because of this innovative model, there is a minimal strain in terms of lesson planning, leaving time to hone learning and the art of teaching.

In May 2019, we received glowing feedback from our first Ofsted inspection. As well as highlighting our outstanding behaviour, pastoral and leadership systems, the lead inspector expressed that Q3 Academy Langley was ‘not a normal school.’ Our outward-facing approach has led us to be at the forefront of educational innovation – our focus on being ‘warm but strict’, and putting knowledge at the heart of our curriculum has led Schools Week to dub us ‘the Michaela of the Midlands’.

Additionally, our attendance and persistent absence figures have been amongst the very best in the entire country – this is particularly impressive when considering the socio-economic context of the Academy (IDACI ‘Deprived’) and the broad cultural mix of our cohort.

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking an exceptional Science teacher with the energy, passion and creativity to teach Science in the Secondary phase of our thriving All-Through school. This is an opportunity for a full time position from January 2025. A later start will be considered for the right candidate.

The Team

Our highly qualified and successful Science department consists of a five strong collaborative and highly capable teaching team, supported by two experienced and exceptionally creative Technicians. The Science Department is housed in six state of the art, bright, high-ceilinged labs and two specialist preparation rooms, with impressive views of the local area. Our results have been increasing year on year, with GCSE results in line with national average progress 8 scores. As a department we are committed to improving outcomes and sparking interest, with small class sizes in all GCSE year groups. The required science practicals are only a small part of the number of practical lessons that occur throughout the year, and all Science lessons - from Year 7 upwards - are timetabled in specialist laboratories to support our approach.

Pupils are entered for AQA Science Trilogy GCSE with a significant number of students opting for Triple Science, which is one of the most popular GCSE choices at CFS.

The Role

The successful candidate will be expected to teach Science from Years 7 to 11. Due to the current expertise in the team – all three Sciences are ably represented – a specialist in Biology, Chemistry or Physics would be welcomed. Most secondary teachers at CFS are also tutors for a year-based tutor group; a time allowance is provided when undertaking this role.

You will:

• be a well-qualified, enthusiastic graduate of Science, or appropriately linked discipline/subject
• be a highly-skilled and competent teacher who is enthusiastic and totally committed to the ethos of CFS
• readily establish excellent relationships with both staff and pupils
• have an up-to-date awareness of current issues relating to Science teaching, especially new curriculum and GCSE requirements

• enjoy pioneering new developments in pedagogy
• embrace the use of new technologies in the classroom
• be skilled in behaviour for learning
• value creating an inspiring learning environment

• be able to communicate well with children and young people, having an understanding of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people

• possess drive, expertise and enthusiasm
• be well-organised and disciplined when it comes to administrative duties possess an optimistic and resilient style when faced with pressure

All teachers at CFS commit to fully contributing to the ethos and life of the School in and outside the classroom.

Further information, including a Person Specification, is available in our job pack and also on our website.

What the school offers its staff

CFS is a happy, collaborative and forward thinking school for 4-16 year olds, where the personal development of our pupils is just as important as the academic curriculum. In our recent Ofsted, inspectors observed that CFS is a vibrant, ambitious and inclusive school, where our respectful and friendly pupils are thriving and are well prepared for their adult lives. Our values of ‘nurture, challenge and inspire’ influence everything we do as a school, and genuinely permeate all areas of school life. If you share our values and ideals, we strongly encourage you to find out more about CFS via a visit to the school or through our school website www.chichesterfreeschool.org.uk.

Whilst this is a Secondary post, there is something extremely unique and special about working in an All-Through environment; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work creatively with colleagues from both phases helping to develop a cohesive and truly progressive educational experience for all learners. There may be opportunities for you to teach in the Primary phase of CFS in the future, if this was something you wished to pursue.

CFS follows national pay scales; this role would be equally suitable for an early career teacher or more experienced teacher. The Upper Pay Scale would be considered for the right candidate and on the agreement of a whole school responsibility in addition to the role outlined below.

Commitment to safeguarding

CFS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
