Permanent, Full Time

September 2026 Start

Lift New Rickstones is graded 'Good' (November 2023) and has a state of the art building offering fantastic facilities for both students and staff. Over the last 8 years the school has seen a huge increase in student numbers, with the number of students on roll more than doubling. The school is a popular choice in the local area, is oversubscribed, and has added another new building to meet this demand.

Lift New Rickstones is a great place to work with a friendly and supportive team. Staff numbers have also increased and the school is proud to boast high retention rates. Development is a priority with an extensive and successful CPD (Continuing Professional Development) programme to further develop our excellent staff.

Every member of the team is a vital part of our committed and ambitious team and we have been very successful at developing teachers and leaders with progression both within, and beyond the school.

Our "Curriculum Drivers" guide everything we do, encouraging students to be safe, happy, proud and reach their full potential.

* Ambition : sits at the heart of our curriculum. We are committed to high expectations for all and to providing the right scaffolding and support so that every student, whatever their starting point, can achieve their very best. * Character : underpins our pastoral care, our TPP approach and our behaviour systems. It is about more than rules and routines; it is about developing resilience, responsibility and integrity, helping students to learn from mistakes and grow into confident, respectful young people. * Opportunity : ensures that all students benefit from rich personal development and enrichment, both within and beyond the classroom. We want every young person to recognise the possibilities open to them and to leave us equipped with the knowledge, experiences and confidence to take their next steps.

About the Role

We are looking for a passionate and committed Teacher of Science to join our established department.

The Science department is well established and continues to grow, offering an exciting opportunity to join a strong and supportive team with a wide range of expertise and experience. Following a period of expansion, the department is well placed to continue improving outcomes and broadening student opportunities.

Our curriculum is regularly reviewed to meet the evolving needs of our students. At GCSE we follow the AQA Trilogy specification, with Separate Sciences offered as an option. At Key Stage 5, we currently deliver Human Biology, with ambitions to extend provision to include A Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Enrichment is a real strength, with a weekly STEM club, a range of trips and competitions, and a growing STEM Ambassador programme promoting science across the school. This is an excellent time to join a department with clear ambition a
