Job Introduction

Required from Easter or September 2026

The Mountbatten School Science Faculty is a dynamic creative team, united by a shared passion for science and learning.  

We are committed to helping every student become a scientifically literate, critical thinker who is equipped for life in the modern world and run a full range of extra curricular clubs, trips and opportunities.  There are opportunities to join in with our international and local outreach work.

Our students are genuinely a joy to teach: enthusiastic, thoughtful and eager to learn. The Faculty is well resourced with specialist teaching rooms and bookable class sets of Chromebooks and devices. Teachers work closely to design inclusive schemes of learning, share resources and continually refine practice to secure strong progress for all students, regardless of starting point.

• Build strong, respectful relationships with pupils and families.
• Contribute to the wider life of the department through enrichment opportunities including trips, competitions and events.
