An exciting opportunity has arisen for an inspirational lead teacher – science curriculum development, to join our expanding science department. This vacancy will suit a passionate teacher of science who would like to support the ongoing development of the science department and who is ready to take their first steps into a curriculum leadership role or equally a more experienced applicant. Westborough has a strong and stable staffing platform and can develop staff whatever their career stage.
You will be joining a successful and well-established science team and are warmly welcome to a visit with our team leader/senior leader or headteacher.
Following the Section 8 Ofsted inspection in June 2022, Westborough continues to be a good school and ‘leaders are ambitious’ for the pupils. There is a real team approach at Westborough, where everyone, no matter what their role in school is, wants the ‘best’ for pupils. Ofsted were very complimentary about the culture of the school, describing it as, ‘welcoming and inclusive.’
