Ladybridge High School is a warm, friendly and successful school with a clear mission and agreed beliefs that are shared across the school community. We are focused on achieving strong academic outcomes through a rounded education that prepares our learners for life.We are committed to our ‘Trivium’ approach to education, which is summarised on our website here.
The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work. We aspire to be an ‘evidence-informed’ school where teachers are encouraged to read, research, collaborate and take calculated risks in the classroom.
Due to internal promotions we are seeking to appoint a dedicated and inspiring Teacher of Science to join our Science department.
Teaching staff at Ladybridge typically have a minimum of 20% Planning Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time, significantly above the national expectation of 10%. All teaching staff have a ‘flexi afternoon’ each fortnight, where they are free to leave the school site at the start of lunchtime.We do not expect teachers to work on their flexi afternoons. The vast majority of our associate staff also have varying degrees of flexible working. This ensures that our staff have the time to carry out their role to the highest possible standard, whilst having a genuine work-life balance.
