The Athelstan Trust is a successful and growing Multi-Academy Trust consisting of six secondary schools and four primary schools in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, and South Gloucestershire. We currently employ over 750 people and educate 5,000 pupils and plan to expand further over the coming years. At Malmesbury School our vision is to be a Happy, Caring and Excellent community. We are proud to be a truly comprehensive school providing an education of the highest quality for all the students within Malmesbury and the surrounding area. Malmesbury School requires a dynamic, enthusiastic and well-qualified teacher and leader of Science to lead the faculty. Applications are welcomed from teachers who have gained experience as an outstanding classroom teacher and are now looking to progress their career, or an experienced Faculty leader who is looking for a new challenge. The school occupies a modern building with a suite of laboratories built around a faculty office and prep rooms. All labs have an interactive whiteboard or Clevertouch screen and computer. Students follow either AQA Trilogy Combined Science or the AQA Separate Sciences at GCSE with exceptional exam results. We have large numbers of students studying at least one Science subject (Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology) at A-level. The Science faculty has an ethos of “inspiring and equipping young people to discover their world” and we believe in using practical work to inspire our students and to support them in developing their investigative skills. The faculty has a very successful YouTube Channel which we encourage you to visit. In addition, we have a vibrant extracurricular programme involving regular trips, guest speakers and themed weeks. The successful applicant would be responsible for continuing and developing this work and would have line management responsibility for a number of colleagues.
