Information

Thank you for your interest in Alder Grange and the Teacher of Science role which we have available. 
We are ideally looking for someone with a passion for teaching physics, although if that isn’t your specialism, don’t let it put you off – most of our science teachers teach across the range of sciences. What is important to us is your passion for science and you have an ability to inspire our pupils. This role will give the successful applicant opportunities to teach in our 6th form (A Level and BTEC) in addition to KS3 and KS4.
Well-being and work life balance is important to us – and we therefore welcome applications from candidates wishing to work full or part-time, and are happy to support a job share arrangement. Please identify in your letter of application whether you are applying for a full or part time role.
We were Ofsted inspected in January 2022, and are thrilled to have maintained our “Good” rating.  We are rightly proud of our school ethos and values.  Every experience we offer our students must reflect these values, and all members of our team have a role to play.
The department has a strong history of supporting teachers through training– therefore this role could also suit someone in their first or second year of teaching.  That doesn’t mean we wouldn’t welcome applications from experienced teachers too – of course we would, we welcome applications from across the experience range, and will pay in line with the current pay range – whether that is MPR or UPR.<
All our teachers are actively involved in pastoral support – and the successful candidate would also be a form tutor.
If we sound like the school for you, and you are interested in chatting to us or looking around the school ahead of your application, then please make contact and we will arrange a mutually convenient time
