Tes is supporting the appointment of a Teacher of Biology to join a School based in Cambridgeshire.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Teacher of Biology to start in September 2025. The school is looking to appoint a high achieving scientist, on a one year fixed term basis, to join a supportive, energetic and collegiate department. The successful candidate will have a genuine enthusiasm for biology and be well placed to generate and sustain a high degree of motivation in all pupils, who are mainly of a high ability.
Biology is a core subject alongside chemistry and physics. All pupils currently take three separate sciences to GCSE having completed a preparatory biology course in years 7 and 8. They follow the Edexcel GCSE course in the Middle School and the department routinely achieves outstanding GCSE results.
Biology is a popular A-level choice with approximately 140 students choosing to study it in the Lower and Upper Sixth. Since September 2022 the department has been teaching the OCR A-level course, which is academically challenging and requires pupils to thoroughly develop their independent learning and questioning skills to achieve success. Practical work is an integral part of their teaching and all their laboratories are thus equipped to the highest standards.
Students studying Biology regularly succeed in gaining places to read Natural Sciences or Biological Sciences at Cambridge and Oxford University. Many students use their biology in degrees such as Dentistry, Medicine and Veterinary Science. The Medical Forum and Sixth Form Biology Society provide extension material for students hoping to apply for these competitive degree courses.
The School enjoys a prestigious reputation and values a mixed approach to teaching and learning. They aim to respect tradition and innovation, industry and fun, and academic and personal growth. All teachers and pupils are required to demonstrate all-round excellence and contribute to the academic, pastoral and extra-curricular life of the school.
At the School, they value the well-being of all staff and offer a supportive environment that balances professional ambitions with personal growth, opportunity and work-life balance.
Interviews will be held on Tuesday 20th May.
