Teaching and Learning Plan and deliver well-sequenced Science lessons aligned to Cambridge Lower Secondary Science for Years 7–9 and the relevant IGCSE Science specifications for Years 10–11. Teach across Biology, Chemistry, and Physics with strong subject knowledge relevant to the school’s IGCSE pathways. Integrate purposeful practical investigations, ensuring alignment with curriculum objectives, assessment criteria, and real-world applications. Guide students in planning fair tests, identifying variables, selecting appropriate equipment, and producing accurate data tables, graphs, and evaluations. Promote scientific literacy, including subject-specific vocabulary, structured scientific writing, and accurate use of units and standard form. Prepare students thoroughly for IGCSE assessments, including theory, alternative-to-practical, and practical examinations where applicable. Build students’ understanding of IGCSE command terms, enabling them to respond effectively to examination questions. Laboratory Safety (Mandatory) Conduct and document risk assessments for all practical activities prior to lessons. Enforce strict laboratory safety standards, including proper use of PPE and safe handling of equipment and chemicals. Maintain a safe, clean, and well-organised laboratory environment at all times. Report and document all incidents in line with school health and safety procedures. Collaborate with laboratory technicians to ensure equipment readiness and compliance. Assessment and Progress Design and implement assessments aligned with Cambridge standards. Monitor student progress and provide clear, constructive feedback. Apply Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies to support ongoing improvement. Track performance and implement appropriate interventions. Professional and Administrative Duties Maintain accurate records of attendance, assessment, and student progress. Prepare reports, lesson plans, and curriculum documentation as required. Participate in meetings, professional development, and school events. Communicate effectively with parents, colleagues, and school leadership. Pastoral Care and Inclusion Promote student wellbeing, positive behaviour, and a safe learning environment. Support students’ academic and personal development, including form tutor responsibilities if assigned. Implement inclusive practices and collaborate with support services to meet individual needs. Wider Contribution and Safeguarding Contribute to extracurricular activities and school initiatives. Engage in continuous professional development. Adhere to safeguarding policies, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all students.
Teaching and Learning Plan and deliver high-quality Mathematics lessons aligned with Cambridge Lower Secondary (Years 7–9) and IGCSE Mathematics for Years 10–11, ensuring full syllabus coverage. Develop students’ fluency in number, algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability, with clear progression across year levels. Teach mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills, enabling students to structure solutions, communicate methods clearly, and apply concepts to unfamiliar contexts. Prepare students effectively for IGCSE examinations, including both non-calculator and calculator papers, with a focus on accuracy, efficiency, and method justification. Use effective teaching strategies such as modelling, guided practice, and targeted questioning to build both conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. Ensure students present work clearly, using accurate mathematical notation in line with Cambridge mark scheme expectations. Integrate appropriate mathematical tools and technology, including calculators and digital platforms, to enhance learning. Provide challenge and extension opportunities for high-achieving students, including pathways towards Additional Mathematics where appropriate.
