What can a science teacher expect in King's Lynn?

King's Lynn has four secondary schools: King Edward VII Academy (Inspiration Trust) and Springwood High School (West Norfolk Academies Trust), both 11–18, plus King's Lynn Academy (Eastern Multi-Academy Trust) and St Clement's High School in Terrington St Clement (West Norfolk Academies Trust), both 11–16.

Science departments in King's Lynn teach GCSE combined and separate sciences, with A level at the two 11–18 schools. The coast, The Wash and local food and manufacturing industries give plenty of real-world context.

Physics and chemistry specialists are the hardest to find, and schools value science teachers who can teach confidently across all three sciences at KS3 and GCSE combined science.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and teach science lessons across KS3 and KS4, and A level where needed
• Run practical work safely and complete required practicals
• Prepare students for GCSE combined science or separate sciences
• Use assessment to plan intervention
• Make science accessible to all learners
• Work with technicians and the science department

Who we're looking for

• Qualified science teachers (QTS or QTLS) in biology, chemistry or physics
• Science graduates with teaching experience
• Early Career Teachers looking for their first science post
• Overseas-trained science teachers with the right to work in the UK
