Teacher of Science - for September 2023

12 dedicated labs and 2 prep rooms, house our team of specialist Science Teachers and Technicians, in a school where students are motivated and thrive in a culture of achievement and success. Recently our Science students have had a hot air balloon land on the school field; had a visit from a NASA Astronaut; welcomed an Urban Farm into school and have nurtured and hatched their very own Chicks. We are the home of innovative opportunities for students, extending their learning across all areas of Science.

We are looking to appoint engaging and enthusiastic Teachers of Science, to join our highly effective Faculty. You will be a committed practitioner who shares our vision to ‘Let your light so shine – Be the best you can be’.

Our ideal candidate will be keen to play an active part in school life, running extra-curricular activities for students.

This post is full-time. Pay scale is MPS/UPS Outer London. This post is also suitable for an ECT looking for a supportive and well-structured ECT programme.
