We are highly over-subscribed and academically selective with a large proportion of our cohort in receipt of offers from Russell group Universities (including Oxbridge) and we are looking for outstanding individuals to join this vibrant and scholarly community.

Prepare London’s most able state school students for entry to the world’s top universities.

As part of our continued expansion, Harris Westminster Sixth Form is looking to hire a Physics Teacher for September 2016 who is both passionate about preparing London’s most able state school students for entry to the world’s top universities and is keen to join a highly academic and successful department.

We opened in September 2014 with 138 students, ten of whom have been offered places to study at Oxford or Cambridge, and we expect to have 500 students in September 2016, keen to join an environment where learning and scholarship are paramount.

We are looking for a Physics teacher with:

• Enthusiasm, passion, outstanding subject knowledge, and a consistent drive to teach beyond A*.

• A positive and innovative learning environment where teaching is spread across six days per week.
• Opportunities to deliver Cultural Perspectives classes in areas of knowledge that are of particular interest to you.
