Job overview
An able, well-qualified and inspiring teacher of Chemistry is required to join this very successful and innovative department from September. The successful candidate will be required to teach pupils throughout the school, from Year 7 to Year 13. The department currently comprises nine full time teachers who work in modern, well-resourced laboratories with good technical support. The successful candidate may have the opportunity to contribute to the School’s significant outreach teaching in local Haringey schools.
Whilst desirable, prior teaching experience is not a necessity. We are looking for applicants who relish the opportunity to work with bright, ambitious and well-motivated pupils. Applicants must demonstrate an ability to relate to young people together with a genuine, academically well-grounded enthusiasm for the subject. Applicants should endeavour to inspire pupils to develop high standards of scholarship through innovative, clearly focused and responsive teaching, which goes the extra mile, and encourages pupils to do the same. The successful candidates will be able and willing to contribute to the pastoral and co-curricular life of the school, both aspects of which are valued at Highgate.

Established in 1565, Highgate is now one of the UK’s leading co-educational independent schools, with around 1,700 pupils aged 3-18.
Academic excellence
Academic standards at Highgate remain high, as our most recent exam results demonstrate. In 2023 over 50% of all our GCSE entries were graded 9, and 78.9% were 9 or 8. Within our Sixth Form, in 2023, 46.5% of all our exam entries were awarded an A* at A level (or Pre-U equivalent) and 82.8% were A* or A. In 2023, 30 pupils matriculated at either Cambridge or Oxford colleges, whilst others took up places at prestigious Art, Architecture and Medical schools. Every year, the vast majority of our leavers enter Russell Group universities or other elite Higher Education establishments, including in the US and Canada.

Alongside their studies, Highgate pupils are offered a wide range of co-curricular activities which enhance both their childhood experience and their future aspirations. We are also exceptionally fortunate when it comes to sport with extensive facilities, excellent staff and a wide range of activities available.
At Highgate, we encourage social responsibility through our charity work, both locally and further afield. For example, we are the principal education sponsor for the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham and support Great Lakes High School in Uganda.
