The role in a nutshell
The Science Lead at Willowfield Academy provides subject leadership and expert guidance to strengthen the quality of science education within a specialist SEND setting. Working within the academy’s leadership structure and in close partnership with senior leaders, the postholder will drive high quality curriculum design, adaptive teaching and evidence informed practice in science.
You will ensure that all pupils, regardless of need, access an ambitious, inclusive and coherently sequenced science curriculum that enables them to achieve positive outcomes. To do this, you will model effective practice, support and challenge colleagues, and foster a culture of high expectations, collaboration and continuous improvement within the subject. A central part of the role is leading robust subject level quality assurance and curriculum evaluation, ensuring that science teaching and learning are consistently ambitious, inclusive and responsive to pupils’ needs.
The candidate
The ideal candidate will be a values driven and highly skilled Science specialist with a proven track record of securing high standards in teaching and learning. You will bring strong expertise in science curriculum design, pedagogy, assessment and inclusive practice, alongside the leadership capability to drive improvement within a specialist SEND setting.
Credible and confident, you will model excellent subject practice, inspire colleagues and build strong professional relationships across the academy. You will combine analytical rigour with emotional intelligence, using evidence informed approaches to improve outcomes, refine curriculum sequencing and strengthen the quality and consistency of science teaching.
With a deep belief in the potential of every child, you will champion equity, inclusion and ambition in science education. You will ensure that pupils with additional and complex needs have access to rich, meaningful and aspirational scientific learning that develops curiosity, resilience and confidence, and prepares them well for their next steps.
You will embrace challenge, contribute positively to whole school improvement and be committed to delivering sustained improvement in science teaching and learning. You will model the professionalism, integrity and high expectations expected within Willowfield Academy.
We welcome applications from everyone who believes they meet the expectations of the role regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, or disability. To ensure that our composition of our colleagues is representative of the communities we serve, applications from groups who are currently under-represented in education including people with disabilities and people from minority ethnic backgrounds are particularly encouraged.
