Job overview
St Helen's is a leading independent day school educating over 1150 girls aged 3-18. We are looking to appoint a Physics Teacher for the new academic year although consideration will be given to a January 2021 start.
Science at St Helen’s
In the Senior School, students study a bespoke integrated Science course in Year 7, before studying Biology, Chemistry and Physics in separate lessons from Year 8 onwards. At KS4 all students study the Edexcel IGCSE syllabus, with the majority taking separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics IGCSEs to achieve the Triple Award, and the remainder sitting Dual Award Science.
The Science Faculty in Senior School is led by the Head of Science and Physics, supported by separate Heads of Biology and Chemistry. IGCSE and A Level Science results in recent years have been outstanding and pupil take-up of all three Sciences at A Level is excellent. A significant number of pupils go onto study science related degrees, including Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine.
Science has its own building which consists of ten laboratories on two floors, ample preparation rooms, storage facilities, and offices. A new STEM building with a Physics project laboratory is due to be opened in the Autumn. All Departments are well-resourced with class sets of apparatus to carry out a wide range of Biology, Chemistry and Physics experiments and investigations. All laboratories and study areas are networked to the school system. ICT is rapidly being integrated within schemes of work, and we are actively seeking to develop and extend our use of ICT in the classroom. The Departments are supported by well-qualified, experienced laboratory technicians.
The successful Physics Teacher should be able to teach Physics across all senior key stages including KS5. They should have a relevant degree and preferably hold qualified teacher status although this is not essential. NQTs are welcome to apply.
