Senior Science Teacher (EHTM Prep)

Are you an experienced and ambitious teacher looking for an exciting new opportunity?

The boys follow the National Curriculum for all subjects, but are also extended far beyond it, both in the breadth of subjects taught and the depth of knowledge and skills within each subject. In the Prep the boys follow the ISEB Common Entrance curriculum leading to examinations in maths, English, biology, chemistry, physics, French, Latin, geography, history, and theology, philosophy and religion. These subjects are complemented by lessons in computing, design technology, art, music, games and PE, drama, and PSHEE. Opportunities for critical thinking and applied problem solving, and developing the boys’ digital literacy are woven through all subject areas.

The Science department strives to foster each boy's sense of wonder about how things work and why people have always had a thirst for knowledge. Learning opportunities are varied and we aim to stimulate an enjoyment of science as a subject. Boys gain a clear understanding of scientific methods and the importance of obtaining accurate experimental results while being aware of the safety requirements when doing practical experiments.

Science department staff feel fortunate to be responsible for teaching one of the most exhilarating subjects in the school curriculum. Science is a thrilling and engrossing discipline that embraces every aspect of modern life.

Boys are taught to use scientific ideas and models to explain phenomena and to understand the applications of science in the world around them. They are encouraged to develop an awareness of the environmental, global and social impact of technological developments. They develop an ability to evaluate scientific evidence, an understanding of the importance of experimental evidence in the formation of scientific ideas and the ability to communicate these ideas in the modern world. We aim to teach boys the importance of having a deep respect for the natural world and how each and every one of us has an obligation to use the Earth's resources responsibly.
