1.0fte
Teacher of Science
Required
for September 2026 a Teacher of Science at GCSE and A Level.
Ferndown Upper
School is a very special place to work because we have well behaved students,
who allow their teachers to teach, we focus on work life balance to ensure that
staff spend their time on the activities that actually make a difference and we
have a friendly and supportive staff body.
The
Ferndown Upper School Science Faculty aims to create a centre of excellence for
STEM. We have a strong reputation and a full team of experienced teachers. The Science Faculty is a friendly, collegiate
team, who work hard together to achieve high standards and have achieved
excellent results. It is a strong
faculty with high levels of recruitment and success at A Level, with many going
on to take these subjects at University. There are four teachers of biology in
the department, four physics teachers and four chemists.
We have a
sophisticated range of STEM enrichment in place, including the EPQ, green
powered car and careers events. To further enhance our provision we are now
running ‘Triple for All’, which means all our students will be entered for
triple science GCSE. At FUS, we only teach our students in separate sciences
and believe that they should have access to teachers with specialisms and high
quality subject knowledge.
We welcome applications from both trainees/ECTs and more experienced Teachers
of Science.
