Do you have a passion for leading change, do you want to inspire this in pupils and staff? If so, we want to hear from you. The science department are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, dedicated, and exceptional leader to lead and drive the achievement in Chemistry across all years.

Washwood Heath Academy is a relatively new All Through Academy in the East of Birmingham. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established Science team and contribute to a department that seeks to provide a first class education for all of its learners. In order for all pupils to achieve academic excellence, we deliver a knowledge-rich curriculum where teachers are the experts and their role it is to convey their knowledge and expertise to pupils. We believe that all pupils are entitled to learn about 'The best, which has been thought and said' (Matthew Arnold).

This comes at an exciting time within our development of Washwood Heath Multi Academy Trust, a family of 7 schools (one all-through, two secondaries and four primaries) serving the East of Birmingham. We believe that we are stronger working in partnership to serve the children and families of our community.
