Head of Department, Science, Greenwich
Job Description
Crimson Global Academy (CGA) is a world-leading online school with students in more than 30 countries and a teaching staff drawn predominantly from New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. Every one of our teachers is a subject expert, and our strong pastoral care network ensures students learn in a safe and inclusive environment.
\nStudents at CGA study at a level that matches their academic competence rather than their age, which means a significant proportion of our cohort is working ahead of their peer group. Combined with curriculum flexibility, cutting‑edge technology and the opportunity to accelerate, CGA offers an unusually rich environment for students with the drive to excel. Our academic results speak for themselves.
\nAbout the role\nAs Head of Department, Science, you'll lead a team of teachers delivering A‑level Sciences to students around the world. You'll set the academic standard, develop your team, oversee curriculum and assessment, and make sure every student gets a consistently excellent experience — whether they're learning in group classes, small groups, or one‑to‑one. You'll report to the Principal and teach 12 of 22 periods, with 10 release periods for leadership work.
\nWhat you'll do\n- \n
- Lead the Science department: meetings, learning walks, lesson observations, and professional development \n
- Coach and support teachers across all learning modes, including new Da Vinci (1:1) teachers \n
- Own curriculum quality and alignment with A‑level specifications \n
- Oversee internal and external examinations, moderation, and post‑exam analysis
