Regional Science Teacher in Redcar

Outwood Academy Bydales is an 11-16 school located in the beautiful coastal village of Marske-by-the-Sea, close to the North York Moors National Park and with spectacular views of the coastline. We are extremely proud of our tradition of serving the families of the community of Marske and surrounding areas. Our recent Ofsted Inspection recognised the many strengths of the school as we secured judgements of Good across all areas. The report was extremely positive and had many highlights, including that we are 'an ambitious school with high standards', that 'Staff care deeply for pupils', that 'Pupils are happy and demonstrate industrious attitudes to learning' and that 'Pupils experience great success'.

We are looking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher of science to join our experienced department with 6 fully equipped science labs and excellent technical support. This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who really wants to make a difference to the lives of young people. Our single goal is ‘Students First’ and you will be joining a strong team of professionals led by an experienced head of department working to this sole aim. Student outcomes are excellent year on year. Studying the AQA specifications, our top set of students study separate sciences with the remainder studying Higher and Foundation Combined Science. In 2025, 78% of our students attained at least grade 4 and above, 65% grade 5 and above and 33% grade 7 and above. Many of our students go on to pursue A Levels in science subjects post 16. We also run several enrichment activities at the end of the school day aimed at both supporting students in the run up to GCSEs and to widen the experiences of the subject by offering a KS3 science club.
