Detail

We have an exciting opportunity for a part time Biologist to join our thriving Science Department. Timetabled hours will be between 0.4 and 0.6 (FTE).

Biology is taught as a separate subject throughout the school. There is an emphasis on learning through practical work in all years, and pupils enjoy this very much. In Years 7-9 the pupils have two 55-minute periods of each Science subject per week. Year 7 are taught in mixed ability tutor groups, then, depending on the needs of the cohort, sets may be introduced. The National Curriculum programmes of study are followed at Key Stage 3 in Years 7 and 8, following an in-house scheme of work. The AQA specification for GCSE Biology is followed in Year 9, as the pupils commence their Key Stage 4 studies.

At the end of Year 9, pupils opt to either, follow the AQA specification for GCSE Biology or the AQA specification for Combined Science: Trilogy. While numbers vary from year to year, approximately half of pupils normally opt for the separate sciences. Most pupils are entered for the higher tier of the examination. GCSE Biology classes have 6 lessons per fortnight while GCSE

Combined Science Biology classes have 4 lessons per fortnight. Group sizes may vary with the cohort but will never exceed 24.

Biology is a popular subject within the school and successful at recruiting for A-level from our own internal pupils and others from outside who join the Sixth Form. Maximum class size for A level is 14. Pupils have eleven lessons per fortnight. All the Sciences currently follow the AQA A-level specifications. Teaching of Biology A-level is shared by the Head of Biology and two part time teachers of Biology.

Closing date for applications: 9am on Wednesday 8 May 2024

Interviews will be held between: Monday 13 May - Friday 17 May 2024

Please complete the application form and submit this with a covering letter outlining your reasons for applying and what you feel you can bring to the post. This should be addressed for the attention of the Headmistress and sent by email to enquiries@dhsfg.org.uk.
