What the school offers its staff
Chemistry department
The department teaches A level Chemistry to 370 students. They are a close-knit team made up of teachers with a variety of backgrounds including academia, accountancy, tech start-ups, pharmaceuticals, the NHS and teaching. Many students go on to study medicine or STEM subjects at competitive universities - particular success was had with Oxbridge this year. However, the department has a strong focus on ensuring that students pick the correct progression option for them - whether it is a traditional degree route, a degree apprenticeship or something else entirely. The department uses a central bank of resources but with flexibility in the delivery of course material. It is a highly supportive team who would equally welcome an experienced teacher, someone newly- qualified or a career- changer.
“I really enjoy working in this supportive and collaborative department.”
“I joined the Sixth Form as my first teaching job after a successful career elsewhere and I was given all the help, encouragement and guidance I needed to succeed.”
Student quotes:
“My teachers have really supported me through my UCAS application and I have five offers from my university choices.”
“I really like the atmosphere, it’s much calmer and easier to learn than at school and the teaching style makes me much more confident about chemistry.”
“I really enjoy the practical work, it’s nice to be able to do lots of experiments as well as just theory.”
