Job description

Science Teacher – to start September 2022. This role is suitable for ECT applicants.

This is an exciting role for an enthusiastic teacher as we prepare our students for GCSE and beyond (the school’s first GCSEs will be in 2023).  Our oldest Year group started Year 10 in September 2021 so this post is ideally suited to a teacher who is passionate about curriculum design and development, especially at KS4.  You will be joining an innovative, ambitious and energetic staff group that seeks to deliver an outstanding curriculum, and will be well supported by an experienced Senior Leadership Team.

Ada Lovelace has an innovative curriculum model – core subjects including science are taught in the morning in 50-minute periods, and science is studied every day by every student.  These lessons cover the academic core, with the Practical and Creative subject options, taking place in the afternoon.  All students in Key Stage 3 have an afternoon a week of Applied Science session in which they explore the subject in a real world context.

 

About the school 

Ada Lovelace CE High School

As a new school within a highly aspirational and academically successful multi-academy Trust, Ada Lovelace CE High School offers comprehensive CPD, exciting development opportunities and good promotion prospects for its teachers.  The school, now in its fourth year, moved to its brand new permanent site in north Ealing in September 2020.

Ada Lovelace Church of England High School opened in September 2018 and has had a smaller intake (125 students per year) for two years while co-located at William Perkin Church of England High School – an Ofsted Outstanding school – in Greenford.  The school moved to its brand new permanent site in north Ealing in September 2020. It now has four Year Groups with a total of 650 students.  The school will have 1,330 students when full.  Ada Lovelace is named after the Victorian pioneer of computing – it has a specialism in digital technologies and will provide different routes from Year 7 in ICT and Computer Science as well as applications of Creative Media.  Ada Lovelace also benefits from specialist provision and support from within the family of Trust schools.
