What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a dynamic and inspirational leader of Physics, to support the leadership of our science faculty, to deliver an outstanding curriculum in our brand new state of the art building which includes 8 science labs. The successful candidate will lead the setting up our physics A Level, and drive the development of the curriculum in Key Stages 3 and 4.

You will be highly organised, knowledgeable in the subject, effective in driving pupils' progress. You will be ambitious to create a strong reputation for your subject area within the school and wider. This is a unique opportunity to be part of an exciting and growing curriculum area. You will help to shape a challenging curriculum, to ensure that our pupils can attend the best Universities or successfully compete for sought-after apprenticeships.

The individual abilities of each pupil are recognised and where coaching for life skills, as well as academic excellence, is at the core of all we do.
