An exciting opportunity is available for a talented science teacher to join our large, vibrant and established team working in the heart of Lancashire’s Ribble Valley. We are seeking a highly skilled scientist to join an enthusiastic and well motivated team of eleven specialist science teachers with a wide range of experience in delivering high quality education to pupils across the age and ability range.

As an all-through school for pupils aged 4 -16, there is an opportunity to learn about and perhaps even contribute to the primary science provision and help shape science across 5 key stages. Scientific enquiry is deeply embedded in our ethos and our annual science week is just one celebration of the joy and passion each and every member of our team has for the subject. This is a very supportive and high functioning department that looks forward to welcoming its newest member.

We have experienced considerable growth and enhancement of our site and facilities in recent years, including the refurbishment of our accommodation. The science department benefits from 10 beautifully furnished and well-equipped laboratories, two classrooms and two preparation rooms, all of which are fantastically resourced and supported by excellent EdTech.

Inclusion here at Ribblesdale is paramount as we strive to provide an education rich in opportunity for all our pupils. Our Personal Development provision is ‘outstanding’ (OFSTED) with our unique Enrichment Programme helping pupils to foster their talents and gain new skills and experiences, beyond the classroom walls. Our use of education technology has seen us recognised as a Microsoft Showcase School at the forefront of educational technology and innovation.

Applications are welcomed from confident, aspirational teachers who will share our passion for high quality pedagogy informed by the latest research. A thirst for championing science across all aspects of the school is vital, along with the enthusiasm and commitment to continue to drive forward at this exciting time.

Deadline for applications is 9.00 am Friday 15th May 2026.

Interviews to be held week commencing 18th May 2026.

Person Specification

Are you a passionate and dedicated teacher of English looking to join a supportive, forward-thinking and highly successful English Department? As a key member of the team, you will have the ability to teach across Key Stages 3 & 4, including the delivery of GCSE English Language and English Literature. If you are a strong classroom practitioner and an excellent communicator, we would love to hear from you!

We pride ourselves on being a highly innovative and successful faculty and are committed to delivering an ambitious and inclusive English curriculum through engaging lessons, active learning and digital technologies, utilising our status as a Microsoft Showcase School in which all pupils have access to their own ‘one-to-one’ device.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled and enthusiastic teacher to join our vibrant English Department. In recent years we have become an all-through school, serving pupils from the ages of 4–16, so the opportunity to learn about primary provision and develop expertise is a real advantage of this role. Our curriculum is carefully sequenced and built around a spiral model, where key disciplinary knowledge in reading, writing, speaking and listening is revisited and deepened across the years. Reading is at the heart of the curriculum at Ribblesdale, as evidenced by our recent three-quarter of a million-pound library renovation. What better place to begin or develop your career as a Teacher of English? It really is an exciting time to join our ambitious and energetic team!

We want a teacher who shares our ambitious, inclusive and forward-thinking approach to teaching and learning, and who will be able to demonstrate the creativity, flexibility and resilience needed to offer outstanding opportunities for our pupils – something Ribblesdale School provides in abundance! Our curriculum encourages pupils to question, reflect and communicate with clarity and confidence, seeing English as a powerful toolkit for understanding and shaping the world around them. Our aim is to enable all pupils to become confident and inquisitive individuals and to cultivate a lifelong love of learning. 

Candidates currently studying for or in possession of a qualification relating to SEND, e.g. NPQH SEND or able to demonstrate interest and willingness to do so may be at an advantage. We look forward to receiving your application!

Suitable for ECTs or an experienced teacher.
