Beccles High School - Beccles, Suffolk NR34 7BQ MPR/UPR Full Time Permanent Reference: 7345 Required from September 2025 An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Teacher of Science to join our school. The school is enthusiastically embracing the journey to excellence. The school joined Sapientia Education Trust in September when the school was renamed and a new Headteacher was appointed. Every decision we make is about the young people we serve, their learning experience and personal development and we are very proud of the positive impact we are having their futures. The school is friendly, supportive and incredibly inclusive for students and staff. We are a small school and a real community. Everybody knows, and supports, everybody else, working collectively with the same goals and ambitions for our students. Leaders have an open-door policy to support staff, and we all take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. All teachers have their own rooms, and marking is kept to a minimum. Part of our ethos is the amazing array of opportunities we offer students, including a timetabled 100 minutes per fortnight of enhancement activities: with sports, arts, community projects and academic extension. Backed by a huge variety of clubs and societies, this is one of the reasons for the remarkably strong relationships between staff and pupils. From next year we will also run after school academies in football, STEM and performing arts delivered by external professionals. The school and trust provide a comprehensive induction programme. There are employee benefits such as membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, and an extensive “Academy of Learning” professional development programme, Cycle2work, store discounts and a welfare programme. Schools within the trust support each other and there are often opportunities to gain experience elsewhere, or benefit from the experience of others. Staff wellbeing is a focus, with flexible approaches and careful consultation. Our small size also means that there are many opportunities for those who would like to build a range of experience quickly. The school is in an attractive market town on the Norfolk Broads, surrounded by countryside and very close to Norfolk and Suffolk’s amazing beaches. The beautiful cathedral city of Norwich is about 25 minutes away. Housing is affordable and there is a more relaxed way of life. Join us in our mission to create a nurturing environment where all students feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
