Do you wish to join an aspirational, collaborative and connected school which is improving the life chances of all pupils and students?

Students enjoy the study of Psychology and Sociology in Key Stage 5.  You would be joining an experienced department with a strong track record of excellent results, placing it in the top 10% for A-Level outcomes. We have an excellent Sixth Form cohort of committed students who are passionate about the subjects they study. 

We are looking for someone who has the ability and knowledge to teach the AQA A Level Psychology and AQA A Level Sociology. 

 "You are ambitious for the pupils at the school. You are proud of their achievements and strive to ensure they do the best they can." OFSTED 2017  

“Leaders have designed the curriculum to meet the needs of pupils of all abilities. The most able pupils sit GCSE examinations early and, if they meet their target early, can start A Level courses in Year 11”. OFSTED 2017 

“The progress of students in the school has improved rapidly since it gained academy status and students’ overall achievement is good.” OFSTED 2013 

Westminster City School is a successful 11-18 boys’ Christian non -denominational comprehensive academy with a mixed sixth form. Ours is a lively and vibrant learning community situated in the heart of central London with all the challenges and advantages of an inner city school. The school was judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted in early 2013 with its curriculum and governance judged to be ‘Outstanding’. In 2017 OFSTED judged the school as continuing to be "Good". We  are pro-active in our ambition to become recognised as an “Outstanding” school and standards have improved considerably since that judgement. 

We believe in developing our staff and have a dynamic and supportive management team and an effective CPD programme which includes a regular teaching and learning forum. We welcome applications from experienced teachers and those aspiring to middle leadership. 

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need to undertake an enhanced criminal record check via the DBS.
