Teacher of Biology

Plumstead Manor is a thriving school of 1500 students in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.  As an all girls’ school in Years 7 to 11, our focus is so make sure they have every chance to excel, so that every door is open to them in their future lives. High quality teaching, in a safe and friendly environment is the key to unlocking the potential that we believe all our young people have. High aspirations for academic scholarship, alongside our high expectations for behaviour and personal development embody our commitment to seeing all our students flourish and succeed.

Our Science Department is a vibrant and energetic team of specialists, who offer a range of qualifications across academic, and where appropriate vocational pathways.  This includes Double and Triple Science at GCSE, alongside A levels in Biology, Chemistry and Physics supplemented by a successful and rigorously taught Level 3 BTEC Applied Science.  

At KS3 students follow our new curriculum that develops curiosity about the way the world works and seeks to uncover the inner beauty that Science has to reveal.  We seek to promote a lifelong love of learning all the sciences and our broad and balanced curriculum means we provide a platform for our students to compete for the most competitive courses at university and most sought after jobs.  Many of our Post 16 students go on to study Science at a higher level, in areas including medicine, pharmacology and engineering.
