We are seeking a dynamic, innovative and passionate teacher to join our Science faculty. The precise nature of the teaching load will be negotiated with the successful applicant but may include A Level.

At Verulam, the Science department is focused on developing our students as strong independent scientific thinkers. At A level the faculty has over 50 high achieving students studying the sciences, with many studying two or more. At GCSE the top sets study the AQA Separate Science Course and the rest follow the AQA Combined Science Course. The department has eight dedicated science labs and 4 prep rooms.

Verulam places great emphasis on extra-curricular activity and engagement and benefits from outstanding attendance and exemplary behaviour.

Verulam School is a high achieving boys’ school with a mixed Sixth Form, which forms part of the highly successful BeauSandVer consortium. As a school, our core values of “Excellence, Character, Respect” permeate all that we do. We are located in St Albans, a beautiful and vibrant Cathedral city with a lively cultural life and a huge variety of restaurants, bars, pubs and shops. Recently named in the Sunday Times as the best place in the southeast to live, St Albans is surrounded by beautiful countryside but is still only 20 minutes from London by train and with easy access to motorways and airports.

The school has good GCSE and A Level results and achieved an above average Progress 8 score of +0.36 in 2023 for the whole school. It was judged to be a Good school in all categories by Ofsted in May 2024.

Verulam School is a member of the Ambition Education Trust (AET). The Ambition Education Trust (AET) consists of ten schools in Hertfordshire; three primary, one nursery and infants’, one juniors and five secondary. Our Trust launched in September 2024 following the amalgamation of two established Multi Academy Trusts (MATs), Alban Academies Trust and ATLAS Multi Academy Trust. As a member of AET, we are able to maximise opportunities for rewarding careers and opportunities for personal and professional development throughout our wider organisation. We work together within the Trust to share best practice, deliver joint training, promote the highest of expectations and raise achievement for all students.
