Teacher of Science: Physics Specialist

"This school is an exceptional place, where students flourish both academically and personally within a strong spiritual ethos” OFSTED, April 2014.

Founded in 1791, The St Marylebone CE School is a very successful, oversubscribed Church of England girls’ school with a mixed sixth form, serving students of all faiths or no faith. Rated successively “outstanding” by Ofsted, the School is a dynamic and inspiring place to work and invests energetically in the growth of its staff. 

We are seeking to appoint a driven and enthusiastic teacher of Science. Candidates must be able to teach across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. Ideally, we are looking for a Physics specialist, to join our team of three other physicists.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMET:

The whole Science department achieves outstanding outcomes for its pupils (95% A*-C in 2016) and takes pride in being creative and dynamic in its teaching and enrichment. Pupils are taught separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes from Year 9, by a subject specialist. There is a strong up-take of Triple Science at GCSE Science. A-Level Physics has a high take-up and achievement is promoted at all levels; every year a significant number of students secure places to study Sciences at university. The department takes an active lead in the whole-school STEM programme, including CREST Awards.

The Science department contributes significantly to the St Marylebone Teaching School and the department is the lead subject area for school to school support in the Triborough and across the Alliance, CPD and in delivery of SLP courses. We actively encourage and support teachers who wish to develop this aspect of their careers.
