Job overview

Our inspirational team at JAGS is looking for a colleague to join the Science Department. Your dynamic and creative approach will help our staff deliver outstanding lessons to encourage and champion today’s young scientists across Years 7 to 13 in one of the UK’s leading independent schools.

With its distinctive heritage as the oldest independent girls’ school in London, James Allen’s Girls’ School, JAGS, provides a forward-thinking and contemporary education for over 1000 girls aged 4 to 18.A diverse and dynamic school community, JAGS is in an exciting new phase in its development and this post presents a great opportunity to work within a community without barriers to full participation.

If this matches your educational values, then this is the perfect time to join the department. The sciences are one of the many strengths of the school and are some of our most popular A Level choices, with a significant number of students applying for science degrees.

The department believes strongly in enrichment and extension and in all our teaching we aim to build critical thinking, confidence, independence and a love of science.


Teamwork plays an important role within the department: the staff love to enhance the experience of the students by sharing good practice, resources and ideas for practical work. We are looking for a well-qualified scientist to join this exceptional department, who shares our vision, is passionate about their subjects, and who will bring their own individuality to this warm and supportive team.

In addition, any prospective candidate must show an active commitment to the values and expectations of our school community and to the welfare of the pupils within it. The enthusiasm to assist in a strong co-curriculum is an important quality of all who work at JAGS.


What we can offer you:

• The opportunity to join our outstanding school where public examination results consistently place JAGS amongst the leading schools in the UK

• A community of considerate, creative and compassionate students and staff

• A highly diverse and inclusive school community, committed to our bursary provision

• An inspiring and enthusiastic team of colleagues across t
