The role
Sutton High School is seeking an engaging and passionate leader to develop and drive forward Biology teaching as Head of Biology. Science is taught as a combined subject in Years 7 and 8, with Biology as a separate subject from Year 9 upwards. The successful candidate will have experience of A Level Biology teaching and will feel ready to lead an exceptional department.
The ability to offer a second science subject to GCSE would be an advantage but is not essential.
This role would suit an experienced teacher or current Head of Department.
