If you want to feel that your work makes a difference and that you are proud to represent a community that is grateful for your work, then we are the school for you.

The staff at Moor Park High School and Sixth Form are a caring, supportive team who are passionate about the well-being of our learning community and are dedicated to ensuring the success of the pupils and the school.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an exceptional candidate to join our thriving and forward thinking Science Faculty. We are seeking a committed and ambitious teacher who can deliver high quality Science at Key Stages 3 and 4 and who is open to developing their practice further through the teaching of Mathematics.

The level of Maths taught will be carefully matched to the successful candidate’s skills, confidence and experience, and prior experience of teaching Maths is not essential, as high quality training and support will be provided.

This role would suit a dynamic and reflective practitioner who aspires to be an outstanding Science teacher and a positive, influential role model for young people. We are passionate about developing staff at all stages of their careers and are committed to supporting colleagues to grow, innovate and succeed.

The Science Faculty is entering an exciting period of development. Significant investment in new facilities, alongside the introduction of a new Key Stage 3 curriculum, reflects the school’s strong commitment to Science. This is an opportunity to join a department that is outward looking, well resourced and ambitious, and to play a key role in shaping the future of Science teaching and learning within the school. Please contact Laura Roberts, Deputy Headteacher – Curriculum and Standards on 01772 795428 if you have any questions.
