Your Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic, committed and forward-thinking teacher of science who will set themselves, and our students’ high expectations. The successful candidate will be dedicated to delivering high quality lessons and have a keen commitment to the continued growth of an already outstanding science team. 

Durrington High School has a thriving Science department with a range of passionate teachers sharing the vision to become one of the best departments in the country. Delivering the best possible learning experiences and outcomes for our students is at the heart of everything we do and for that you would be joining a collaborative, and driven department committed to evidence informed teaching. Science is central to our school curriculum. We want to continue to develop this further and as a fully engaged STEM school, we want to continue to lead a range of STEM related initiatives and work collaboratively with local universities and businesses. 

At KS3 we follow a broad and balanced programme of study, based around the National Curriculum, aimed to challenge our students preparing them for KS4. At KS4, students study either AQA trilogy or triple science.  In recent years triple science has become very popular and a real strength of the school, with over 170 students opting for it.

Safeguarding Information

Safeguarding – Our Commitment

Keeping children safe is at the heart of everything we do. As part of our recruitment process, we take steps to make sure everyone who joins us shares this commitment.

What this means for you:

  • All roles in our schools involve a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
  • If you’re successful, you’ll need to complete some pre-employment checks, such as an enhanced DBS check and verifying your right to work in the UK. We’ll explain these clearly and guide you through the process.
  • During the interview, we may ask questions about your understanding of safeguarding. This isn’t a test—it’s about making sure we all share the same values and priorities.

Why do we do this?

Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. These checks and conversations help us create a secure and welcoming environment for everyone.

If you have any questions about safeguarding or the checks we carry out, please let us know—we’re happy to help.
