ABOUT BRAMPTON MANOR

Brampton Manor is an excellent place to develop your career further as a teacher. There is a distinctive ethos within our school, which combines a relatively informal supportive approach with a sharp focus on learning and achievement.

Our school is expanding rapidly due to significant interest from the local community. We are the most oversubscribed in Newham and the seventh most oversubscribed non-selective state school in the country according to The Times.  As a result of this strong demand for places at our school, the local authority spent over £20m creating additional places at our school. The net effect of this is that our admission number for entry into year 7 increased from 300 to 420 in September 2022 and over the next 5 years, a total of 600 students will join our school roll. In view of this, we need to recruit additional staff to join our existing team of highly dedicated and passionate professionals.

ABOUT THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT

The science department consists of about 30 teachers and three technicians. Within this team, six of the staff are physics specialists and teach the subject to A level. Physics is extremely popular at A Level, where the AQA specification is delivered by a team of highly qualified and dedicated physicists to about 200 students. Many of the current Year 13 Physics cohort hold offers to study Physics or Engineering degrees at prestigious universities, and the department prides itself on its high academic standards that enable the majority of its students to achieve A* or A grades at A Level.

ABOUT YOU

The successful applicant will be an outstanding teacher with the ambition and vision to lead a team of motivated and committed teachers who believe there are no limits to what our students can achieve. We are looking to appoint a colleague with a track record of delivering outstanding outcomes at GCSE and A Level who is ready to take the next step in their career. As a middle leader, you will be a key member of our Teaching and Learning Group and play a key role in driving up standards across the school.
