**HEAD OF DEPARTMENT: SCIENCE - Start date - September 2025 or sooner**
**Teachers Main/Upper, plus TLR1C**
**Full Time**
**Permanent**

We seek to appoint an outstanding teacher of Science with experience of teaching across KS3 and 4 who will be ambitious, passionate and rigorous in leading and supporting the department and school in driving forward standards of attainment and progress, promoting a positive mindset in students.

You may be a teacher seeking promotion or an existing Head of Department. Experience of teaching in a mainstream setting with a Sixth Form would be desirable, but not essential.

Our recent Ofsted inspection (May 2022) confirmed that we are a “good” school, but perhaps more importantly, “Pupils and students are well prepared to enjoy and make the most of their education and lives”. Ofsted also stated “Leaders set clear and high ambitions for all pupils and for students in the Sixth Form”. These expectations help pupils and student to achieve well overall. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged.

Our good/outstanding rating since 2008, and the high-quality provision in our £5.3m Sixth Form Centre, guarantees our popularity and status in the local community and ensures an exciting future for the school.

Although Trafford is a selective Local Authority with a mix of high schools and grammar schools, the school’s popularity ensures a truly comprehensive intake. At Altrincham College we recognise that our greatest resource is the professionalism and dedication of all the staff, supported by modern facilities, excellent resources and informed parents and carers.

The staff at Altrincham College work collaboratively as a team and are now looking ahead to consolidate and build on recent successes. Our aim is to further improve the outcomes for our pupils and to achieve outstanding status once again in the near future.

We are proud of our Ofsted report and recent history but certainly not complacent and are now looking to the future and the next stage of our exciting development. You can play a part in this

An exemplary teaching record who can convey their real passion for teaching and learning in Science
Outstanding leadership potential/track record
High aspirations for their own future professional development
Vision to ensure that the department builds on its GCSE and A-Level success, enabling pupils of all abilities to achieve their potential
Ability to nurture and develop staff within the team
Commitment to ensuring an attractive and constructive environment for learning
A willingness to contribute to the school at all levels
High standards of professionalism and personal appearance
