JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking to appoint a Head of Science to manage the small team and deliver a high-quality Science curriculum at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.
Atherton High is a school on the move and the successful candidate will join the school at a very exciting point of its transition. The school sits at the heart of the town’s community and has gone through transformational change in the past 18 months. It has recently joined the Educational Partnership Trust (EPT) and is over subscribed for the first time in its history.
At Atherton we care deeply about the development of staff and firmly believe in extensive CPD for all. Not only do senior and middle leaders have a vested interest in developing all staff but all teachers invest time in each other, with a real community sense but also with a great deal of fun!
Staff welfare is a strength at Atherton; we do not have a mere checklist approach but a genuine human touch to caring for our staff. Without great staff who are committed to our pupils, we can never achieve our goal of a world class education for the young people of Atherton.
We warmly welcome an informal visit or a conversation prior to application. Please contact the School Business Manager –
