We are welcoming applications for the post of Faculty Leader of Science at King Edward VI Balaam Wood Academy, an academy recently graded as 'Good' by Ofsted in all four areas in January 2024.

We are seeking an experienced, driven and committed practitioner to play a pivotal role in shaping the academic journey of our pupils and improve outcomes. Not only will you be joining a strong team of other Faculty Leaders who are passionate about collaboration, you will also be leading an ambitious faculty consisting of a Lead Practitioner of Science, Teacher of Science and a Science Technician.

You will be able to demonstrate being bold in your leadership in developing teaching and learning to ensure the needs of all learners are met and that levels of achievement continue to improve year-on-year. Most importantly, you will be joining a small, kind and powerful community of Senior Leadership, Teaching and Support staff where "staff feel valued and appreciate how their workload and wellbeing are considered by leaders at all levels" as recently noted in our Ofsted Inspection Report.

We are incredibly proud of the journey our academy is on and we are looking forward to meeting other like-minded professionals who want the best outcomes for our pupils who "know staff have high expectations of them and want them to be successful."

Both staff and pupils are "rightly proud of how much Balaam Wood has improved over recent years" in which "daily life reflects the school's values of being bold, ambitious, collaborative and kind." We are looking forward to receiving your application and welcoming you to our vibrant community.
