Teacher of Science

Full or Part Time

Required for September 2024

Ormiston Bushfield Academy is a good school (OFSTED – December 2019) with the inspection stating:

• ·        Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school

• ·        Leaders have the same high expectations of every pupil, whatever their background.

• ·        They encourage every pupil to do their best and to model the school’s shared values of ‘Opportunity, Belief and Aspiration’

The Academy is continuing to expand and due to its popularity and increasing student numbers, a new £6 million wing was opened in September 2018.  This extension is an addition to the £20.6 million state-of-the-art building that was completed September 2012, giving every student the opportunity to learn in an exciting and inspiring environment at an Academy that has been recognised for its high standards of inclusion.

The Academy has continued to build on the successes of the last few years and achieved strong results at GCSE & A-Level in the summer.  It is conveniently located close to the Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire & Lincolnshire borders & benefits from excellent road and rail links.
