What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for an inspiring individual who will relish the opportunity to teach Physics to our highly motivated students. You should be a good Honours graduate, with a love of your subject. It is essential that you have the ability to teach Physics across all ages, including the sixth form and General Science to students in Years 7-8.
The Sciences are studied by all students throughout the School including the Sixth Form as part of the IB Diploma. Students in Years 7–11 and in our co-ed Sixth Form become increasingly independent learners as they progress through the School and achieve excellent outcomes at GCSE and in the internationally recognised IB Diploma. Experience of teaching the IB is not essential. Training is offered as required.
