Teacher of Science

Sacred Heart Catholic Secondary School, Camberwell, London is one of the leading schools in the country, having finished 15th nationally in the Progress 8 league table last year. Additionally, we were named best secondary school in the country at the National Pupil Premium Awards at the Houses of Parliament and won three SSAT awards for pupil progress. This is therefore a fantastic opportunity to join a truly outstanding school.

Sacred Heart seeks an outstanding teacher of Science to join our thriving Science Department where 93% of our pupils achieved A*-C in additional science this year. Furthermore, 100% of Triple Science students achieved A*-C in their Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSEs with 99% of these results being A*-B. Many of our pupils go on to achieve excellent results in the Sciences at A Level and study Science-related courses at University.   

We are a Specialist Maths, Computing and Languages College and we require a teacher with a proven track record of results and classroom management as well as experience of Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

Our school is a high performing and heavily oversubscribed 11-18 institution which is consistently in the top 1% of the country’s schools based on VA and progress. We were judged as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in all categories during our last inspection. 

We strive to be a Catholic community in which the Christian principles of care and respect are valued, with an emphasis on the development of the individual through academic achievement and personal development.  

The ideal candidate will:

• be experienced in teaching to an outstanding level
