Current Vacancies
Second in Science and Biology Lead (Closing Date - 31 March 9.00am)
Job overview
The Headteacher and Trustees wish to appoint a Second in Science and Biology Lead to join our outstanding Science faculty.
The Science Faculty is very experienced and all teachers are degree holders in their relevant disciplines. Every student in KS3 studies all three sciences as separate lessons with specialists and all students currently follow this pathway to GCSE (100% triple science entry). At A-level, biology is one of the most popular subject choices with 3 A-level classes in each year group. Chemistry often has 3 classes and there are about 15-20 physicists in each of the A-level cohorts. This post is offered owing to a continued growth in external applicants for Post-16 education and biology is the most popular subject for 2024-25.
We are very much a family and a team at NGHS; our colleagues work exceptionally hard to help each student to achieve their potential and they also support each other. We take staff well-being extremely seriously and our Well-being Charter is included in our application pack to show you what we do.
NGHS is an outstanding girls’ grammar school. We were most recently inspected by Ofsted in November 2022 and the school was judged outstanding in every category, placing us in the top 3% of schools. Please read the report here; you will see why we are so proud of our staff and students. We are Shropshire's top performing School and have recently won a number of accolades rewarding our work in supporting Mental Health, Holocaust Education, the Be Kind Award and the AcSEED Award.
Our trustee board is incredibly supportive and experienced. Their drive and ambition for the school keeps us on our toes, but they are passionate about enhancing opportunities for all students. We are heavily oversubscribed and hold an annual entrance test. We have, on average, 120 girls in each year group. The sixth form is also oversubscribed and we take students from a number of 11-16 and 11-18 high schools as well, of course, as our own Year 11s.
If you possess the necessary skills for this role, we encourage you to apply for the position. Please note CV’s will not be accepted.
Please contact the Headteacher, Mr A Jones, for any more information via jobs@nghs.org.uk.
Closing date - Monday 31 March 2025 at 9am. We urge applicants to apply ASAP as we may choose to close the advert early should we receive sufficient applications to shortlist for interview.
