A fabulous opportunity to join a highly successful Science department in an outstanding and highly ambitious school.
Thank you for your interest in this post. Chipping Campden School is indeed a very special place – unlike any other. What makes our school so special is its culture and ethos; something that has been grown since the school’s formation in c.1440, enabling students to feel empowered in their learning and inspired to excel.
In Key Stage 5, we offer A Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics and our science staff work closely with the Ogden Trust and the Royal Institution for Science. They deliver STEM Ambassador training, through which sixth formers teach science lessons to some of our feeder school primary students.
Staff benefits
Every school is unique and ours is no exception. One of our unique selling points is the relatively high average length of service of our staff, and relatively low rate of staff turnover. Neither of these are by chance and are the product of staff feeling trusted, empowered and recognised for leading the roles they do. We feel that a mark of the outstanding school we are is symbolised by the number of staff who choose to send their children to be educated with us.
Below is a list of just some of the ‘pull factors’ that contribute to making our school a great place to work:
• An allocation of three, paid staff wellbeing days, where employees are not required to be in school
• An average of 17.4 students per teacher (full-time equivalent)
• Access to a beautiful property at below market rent situated a short distance from our school (subject to availability)
• An iPad to use in school and at home, to enable seamless remote working, using cloud-based technology.
• Commitment to staff wellbeing through a variety of internal practices, designed to recruit and retain the very best staff.
• Complimentary use of the school sports facilities, including gymnasium, swimming pool and fitness equipment.
• Comprehensive range of staff social events throughout the year.
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Freshly prepared and cooked food available on site
• Generous allocation of directed time - for the 2024/25 year, all teaching staff have at least 14% of the timetabled week allocated as non-contact periods; more for TLR postholders.
• Health and wellbeing support including access to an Employee Assistance Programme (including partners and dependents), confidential counselling services and support from our Staff Wellbeing Group, who meet regularly to ensure that our staff wellbeing is prioritised.
• Outstanding, tailored CPD
• Pension Scheme membership (Teachers Pensions or Local Government Pensions Scheme)
• Support in completing relevant external leadership development programmes.
• The school is located within the beautiful Cotswold town of Chipping Campden, with friendly businesses, including a wide range of restaurants and pubs.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff, and volunteers, to share the same commitment. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
