Job overview
At Bootham we seek to liberate and equip our young people to flourish as adults and live adventurous lives that will serve to create a better world. As our new Head of Physics you will play a vibrant and integral role in helping achieve this vision by upholding the very popular and successful standing of Physics among our students, at both GCSE and A Level.
Our well-resourced Physics Department includes an astronomy tower, two dedicated laboratories and a purpose-built prep room. We’ve invested heavily in data-logging equipment and were one of the first schools in the country to acquire a class set of PASCO’s touchscreen LXi handsets.
Our Physics students have enjoyed visits to CERN and ITER, enjoy attending public lectures in Physics and have a good track record at local competitions like the Physics Olympics and York Schools Science Quiz. Our A-level students have entered the British Olympiad and a number of girls have submitted essays to the Newnham College Essay Competition.

Bootham School is a leading co-educational day and boarding school located in the beautiful and historic city of York. Set across two sites, it is home to more than 670 students aged 3-19. The senior school occupies 10 acres in the heart of the city, a few minutes walk from York Minster. Bootham Junior School is just over a mile away, on a purpose-built 10-acre site.
Bootham continues to build on its national reputation as a school with a difference and numbers across both schools are at an historic high. Founded by Quaker families, the School values academic rigour and public duty and encourages students to be creative thinkers, peacemakers and confident humanitarians.
Academic standards are strong and leavers gain entry to the UK’s leading universities including Cambridge, Oxford, Durham, UCL, King’s College, Central St. Martin’s and the Royal College of Music. The School also has a well-earned reputation for producing future engineers and students are regular holders of the prestigious Arkwright Scholarship.
The award-winning enrichment programme allows students to choose from more than 100 activities. All teaching staff participate in this programme, and some may lead in sport, the Duke of Edinburgh scheme or on the many local trips and global expeditions which are a feature of Bootham life.
Our staff can expect to enjoy excellent facilities and benefits. We welcome applications from enthusiastic professionals who seek not just a workplace but a community based on dedication, camaraderie, and purpose.
