What can a science teacher expect in Wisbech?

Wisbech has two state secondary schools, both run by Brooke Weston Trust: Thomas Clarkson Academy on Corporation Road, an 11–18 school with around 1,300 students, and The Wisbech Academy on Weasenham Lane, a new 11–16 school that is growing year by year. Marshland High School is just over the Norfolk border in West Walsoken.

Science is a shortage subject, and physics and chemistry specialists are particularly hard to find in the Fens. Schools value science teachers who can teach confidently across all three sciences at KS3 and GCSE combined science.

The Fens offer real-world science on the doorstep, from farming, soil and food production to wetland wildlife and river engineering on the Nene. Teachers who link science to local industry help students see where it could take them.

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
• Support students learning English as an additional language
• Use assessment to plan intervention
• 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
