A unique opportunity to become Head of Chemistry at William Shakespeare’s former school in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon.

We are seeking to appoint for September 2019 an inspirational leader for our highly successful Chemistry Department. This post would be particularly suitable for a well-qualified graduate who is wishing to make their first or second career move and who has the ability to teach across the 11-18 age range in this high achieving selective grammar school. Please note that experience of working in a grammar school is not a pre-requisite and that an ability to teach Physics to GCSE would be a distinct advantage.

K.E.S. is a forward-looking school with a reputation for exceptionally high standards and an outstanding co-curricular programme. The School has always played a major role in the life of Stratford-upon- Avon, situated as it is in the heart of the town. We enjoy the benefits of being a small school with talented students and a team of dedicated staff who are all committed to the wider life of the School. It is a purposeful and busy place where you will find the highest standards of work, commitment and courtesy.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and to equality of opportunity. An enhanced DBS check will be required.

The closing date for the receipt of applications is Monday 25th March 2019.

Interviews will be held in the week beginning Monday 1st April 2019.

Completed application forms, available on the School’s website (www.kes.net/about-us/vacancies), should be sent to the Headmaster’s PA, Mrs Susan Swann, at the School’s address or by email headspa@kes.net
