Start Date – January 2026 or sooner We are seeking to appoint an ambitious and high performing Deputy Head of Science Faculty to support our Head of Faculty in the leadership of our Science team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and experienced Science teacher with a proven track record for raising standards and implementing change and who is keen to develop their leadership skills further. The Science Faculty at Langley is made up of experienced and recently qualified teachers who are united in their shared commitment to do the best by the students they teach. The Science Faculty benefitted from a full refurbishment in the Summer of 2024 and pupils enjoy lessons in well-equipped and modern laboratories. The successfully appointed candidate will be fully supported in this critical role and will have the chance to contribute to our vision for the future of Science at Langley. We were visited by Ofsted in March 2023 and were graded Good. We are very proud of our inclusive, welcoming school where pupils behave and learn in a calm and purposeful environment. We are ambitious, inclusive and fair and we encourage everyone in the Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the unique ethos of our school as well as our commitment to inclusivity.
