We are currently seeking to appoint a passionate and inspirational teacher of Secondary Science who is able to further increase the profile of this already successful subject. A knowledge of GCSE and A Level Physics would be an advantage.
They will be able to effectively plan and deliver creative and engaging lessons to all age groups from Key Stage 3 to A Level, encouraging a love for Science.

We have a strong commitment to child-centred learning and to addressing the specific needs of each individual pupil so that they can each be guided and encouraged towards achieving their maximum potential. The successful candidate should have experience of teaching across the ability range and recognise the importance of providing effective pastoral care.
