Description

Ark St Alban's Academy

Head of KS3 Science
Ark St Alban's Academy is seeking to appoint a skilled and enthusiastic teacher to lead the KS3 Science curriculum.

Our school is committed to addressing educational disadvantage.

We consistently guide pupils to GCSE and A-Level outcomes which place our cohorts in the top 10% of schools nationally on many measures, including those for the progress of disadvantaged pupils.

Our school serves pupils from central Birmingham. The percentage of our cohort eligible for the Pupil Premium is the seventh highest in the country. There are very few communities in the UK who need great teachers more than ours.

Teachers and leaders at Ark St Alban's Academy are determined to prove that the background of a young person can be no impediment to their success.

Our school prepares pupils to succeed at elite universities, with our alumni proudly representing our community at prestigious destinations including Cambridge University, Durham University and the London School of Economics.

Our school consistently secures excellent outcomes for our pupils.
In science, our pupils are increasingly successful.

Last summer in combined science, over half of the Year 11 cohort achieved at least 5-5, in addition to our small cohort of separate scientists of whom 90% gained at least a grade 7 in all three sciences.

At A-Level, sciences are increasingly popular, even with a requirement of at least 7-7 in GCSE Science and a 7 in GCSE Maths to study A-Level sciences.

Multiple classes of biology and chemistry run in each A-Level cohort, alongside a small but growing number of physicists.

Last summer, almost half of the A-Level results achieved in science were at B grade or higher and almost 80% at C grade or higher.

Providing all pupils with academic and rigorous learning in science is central to our university preparatory curriculum and we know that increasing the precision of our KS3 curriculum will lead to even greater success in each key stage.

In addition, there will be the opportunity in this role to continue the work of the department in playing a leading role in the trust-wide collaboration of curriculum leaders from across the network of Ark Schools.

We are seeking a leader to
