What skills and experience we're looking for

Science Teacher Thank you for your interest in the position of Teacher of Science at Orchard School Bristol. We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher to join our Science Faculty as a full-time teacher from September 2024.

We have a Science team able to deliver Biology, Chemistry and Physics, so any specialism can be catered for. We support our Science staff to teach all three sciences at Key Stage 3 and 4, but we prefer to use specialists wherever possible for Single Science GCSEs.

We are a friendly school, with a warm and welcoming staff body. We work together, we look after our staff wellbeing, and plan for sustainable, impactful development. Every member of staff is entitled to a coach and we develop all staff through regular, incremental coaching. Our most recent Ofsted report demonstrates we are a seriously good school, committed to becoming the outstanding school our community deserves.

We constantly strive to provide exceptional education through evidence-informed practice. We take the continuing professional development of staff very seriously, offering excellent CPLD. We are the Chartered College of Teaching Network for Bristol, and fund membership of the Chartered College for all our teaching staff so they can engage with research and contribute positively to CPLD within the school, across our multi academy trust, and beyond.
