Thank you for your interest in joining our school. We're proud to have been rated 'Good' by Ofsted and are working to become a national leader in education. At Marine Academy Plymouth (MAP), we are driven by a clear and ambitious core belief: every student who joins us has the potential to get to and through university. While we recognise that this may not be the right path for all of our students, we firmly believe that having this option is a hallmark of a successful, high-quality education - one that enables our students to excel in top careers and live their best lives. We combine academic rigor with a joyful learning experience, ensuring our students gain the knowledge, experiences and support needed to achieve their dreams.
We are looking for a committed and talented Second in Charge of Science available to start September 2026. In this position, you will have a leading role in shaping the science provision within the Academy as well as the opportunity to coach and mentor others. If you are ambitious, have a history of excellent outcomes, have a deep interest in the latest educational research and wish to work with the best children in the Southwest, please apply for this exciting role which acts as a natural pathway to Senior Leadership.
Please only apply if you passionately believe:
• Background or home-life is not an excuse for failure or poor behaviour.
• Every student should have the option to attend University when they leave.

• The curriculum should be sequenced, highly structured and knowledge rich.

If you believe all of these things, are professionally ambitious and driven to transform the lives of the children of our community and city, then please apply for the position of Second in Department - Science. You will need to be a subject specialist and have a proven track record of curriculum development in this area.
