The Head of Faculty (HOF) for Science and PE, reporting the Deputy Head Academic, is an important member of the Academic Management Team (AMT).
The Faculty consists of four departments: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Academic PE. The science students achieve high standards, and last year, two students qualified to a world top 10 university and nine students qualified to a world top 50 university. The responsibilities of the HOF include line managing Heads of Department, leading the way to ensure high standards of teaching and learning in the Faculty, and monitoring and supporting the academic progress of all students taking the sciences and Academic PE. The successful candidate will be well supported in their post, and will be offered quality continuing professional development as they grow in their role and their leadership.
