GET INTO TEACHING AT QUEEN ELIZABETH’S: trainee teachers required for September 2024 job summary

One of the country’s leading academic schools, Queen Elizabeth’s Barnet blends a distinctive heritage and proud traditions with an innovative, forward-looking approach to providing a state education like no other to 1300 boys aged 11-18. Our ‘outstanding’ status was emphatically validated by Ofsted in May 2022 and we are also The Sunday Times State Secondary School of the Year for 2022.

More information about our school is available at www.qebarnet.co.uk.

We are looking to support talented and ambitious graduates to join our staff team whilst working towards Qualified Teacher Status on one of the employment-based routes into teaching.

Recruitment is now open for September 2024 entry. Applicants with a successful background in any of the subject disciplines relevant to the School’s curriculum will be considered.

Government grants are likely to be available in some subject areas. For example, for September 2023 starters, the DfE offered bursaries as follows:

  • £27,000 in chemistry, computing, mathematics and physics
  • £25,000 in geography and languages (including ancient languages)
  • £20,000 in biology and design and technology
  • £15,000 in English

The School has a long-established and successful approach to teacher training with a high percentage of former trainees securing permanent roles in the school post qualification. With access to our outstanding package of high-quality continuous professional development and support, many have then progressed quickly to leadership roles.

Applications will be considered as they are received . Prospective applicants are welcome to address any questions they may have to recruitment@qebarnet.co.uk.


We are an equal opportunities employer. Queen Elizabeth’s is a dynamic school supported by a diverse and enthusiastic community of staff, pupils, parents and alumni. It is important that our staff reflect the diversity of our community, and we therefore welcome and encourage applications from people of all genders and sexual orientation, those from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic backgrounds, and from those with disabilities.

Queen Elizabeth’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.  Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure & Barring Service .
