Teacher of Biology, Senior School

**Job type**:
Full Time, Fixed Term

**Start date**:
1st August 2025

15 November 2024

**Job overview**:
Rugby School Thailand (RST), a co-educational day and boarding international School set in 80 acres of glorious Thai countryside south of Bangkok, opened in September 2017 with 110 students. The School has now grown to over 1,200 students and attracts students from all over Thailand and South East Asia.

The structure, School day and ethos of RST are based upon the British Independent School model, rather than the standard international school model. As such, the School has three sections: Pre-Prep (2-6 year olds), Prep (7 - 12 year olds) and Senior (13 - 18 year olds).

Rugby School Thailand is the first overseas sister school of Rugby School UK, one of the most prestigious and well-known schools in the UK. Rugby School Thailand shares Rugby School UK’s DNA in every important respect. It is unique.
- The health, safety and well-being of young people are of paramount importance to all the adults who work at Rugby School Thailand. Children have the right to protection, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, sexual orientation, or disability. They have a right to be safe in our School. Members of staff in the School have a legal and moral obligation to safeguard and promote the welfare of the students, taking all reasonable steps to protect them from harm whether from physical injury, abuse, neglect, emotional harm or from anything that interferes with their general development._

**The Science Department**

The Sciences are taught in the School’s purpose-built Science centre. The layout of the building encourages co-operation across the sciences and the faculty works closely together. Teachers conduct lessons across the range of Senior school classes. This is an important facet of the Department as it promotes a collegial environment and allows for the cross-fertilisation of ideas.

All members of the Science department teach across the range of student abilities. Teachers enjoy working both with those who have a deep interest in Science, who will go on to read Science-based courses at university, as well as with the linguist or humanist whose primary interest may lie elsewhere, but who nevertheless strives to do their best in the Sciences.

F Block (Year 9) students follow a course which is designed by the Department, and introduces students to the pleasures of working in a laboratory, as well as introducing the skills and content that are required for the IGCSE course. F Block students study 8 periods (70 minute lessons) per two-week cycle across the three sciences.

In D and E Blocks (Years 10 and 11) students take CIE IGCSEs in Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Students study either triple award or double award sciences depending on academic ability, with 4 periods per science per two-week cycle. The Sciences are popular Sixth Form options and the Biology department follows the Cambridge specification. Teachers of Science will be required to promote interest in the Sciences beyond the formal curriculum.

This role will be line managed by the Head of Biology (Head of Science).
