What skills and experience we're looking for
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a skilled and enthusiastic Teacher of Science to join our experienced, supportive and successful Science team.
The successful candidate would be expected to teach GCSE Physics to our high attaining students across a range of classes in Years 9-11 and to contribute to the teaching of the Year 7/8 Science course. Physics is a popular choice for students in the Sixth Form and so the potential to teach A Level is an advantage as is the ability to teach Mathematics, and/or a second science subject to GCSE. We are therefore looking for a suitably qualified and/or experienced candidate. Applications from early career teachers with an appropriate academic background are welcome.

In recent years major building programmes have included the construction of excellent sports facilities, a distinctive Sixth Form Centre and new classrooms, workshops, laboratories, ICT suites and staff accommodation. In February 2020 we took possession of our new teaching block and the current building programme was completed in autumn 2021. We enjoy fantastic new teaching spaces and communal areas.
