Chemistry Teacher

Chemistry Teacher for September 2022 

We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Chemistry teacher who is experienced at teaching science up to and including GCSE and A Level and/or seeking their first move either to qualify or post ECT.  The school is happy to receive applications from ECT’s or other suitably qualified applicants.  

 The Science Department here at King Edward’s is very successful and all students have the option to take Triple Science at GCSE thus enabling pupils to specialise.  In addition, we have one or two sets each year who will take the Double Science route. The Science Department has a consistent track record of preparing students for University and the Science department as a whole has a strong regional reputation of excellence for preparing students for entry to Medicine and Veterinary courses.  Finally, the ability to offer either a combination of Chemistry to KS4 or KS5 and a second science to KS3 or KS4 will be useful.

Although selective and academic in our focus the School’s ethos is centred on the development of the whole child.  We are exceptionally fortunate that our committed staff give of their time generously in numerous different ways to share or pursue a passion with our pupils.  We have a flourishing debating society; creative writing groups; music; drama and sport are all strong.  We are also unusual for a state school in having a large and active CCF who also help to run our Duke of Edinburgh programme.  The desire to share a passion or simply get involved in the extra-curricular life of the school will be crucial. 

Closing date: Monday 23 May 2022.   Interviews: the same week
