Are you passionate about teaching and learning? 

Do you want to develop your career in an outstanding school, working closely with colleagues who share that passion?

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly effective individual to teach Science, with a specialism in Physics, and to help improve an already successful department. Physics is an extremely popular choice at both GCSE and A Level, with over 40 students studying it in the sixth form.

The successful applicant will: 

• be an excellent and ambitious classroom teacher 
• have a good understanding of the current educational developments, especially those relating to classroom based practice 
• have the highest expectations of students 
• have an enthusiastic and positive approach within and beyond the classroom 
• have energy, stamina and a sense of humour 
• have teaching experience of Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and ideally Physics at Key Stage 5

Ruislip High School is an outstanding, oversubscribed, 11-18, mixed comprehensive school with over one thousand students on roll and we are currently undergoing an exciting phase of expansion, including a brand new sixth form centre.  We obtain excellent results: our summer 2019 GCSE results place the school in the top 25% of schools nationally; at A Level, 22% of all grades were A*/A grades and 7% of the cohort attained straight A*/A grades. 

In joining Ruislip High School you can expect to work in an environment that focuses on teachers improving, rather than proving, their practice; where teaching and learning is at the heart of everything we do; and where all staff work as a community to support our students to fulfil their potential in line with our school’s motto: from grass roots to reaching for the sky.
