Your opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join our science faculty as a Teacher of Physics.
The science faculty is in strong position to make even greater improvements than in recent years, with new leadership and a new vision in place to help students get the best from their lessons. The faculty has a collaborative approach to development, valuing each other's skills, interests and experiences as well as working alongside other science departments within trust. We are committed to ensuring our curriculum prepares students for studying science beyond GCSE and to upskill them to be objective and formulate conclusions about the world around them. Practical science is at the heart of our curriculum and we are proud to offer a wide range of practical experiences to students, in lessons and in our popular STEM club.
We are equally happy to receive applications from colleagues who are new to teaching as we are from colleagues with a wealth of experience.

We are a school that supports more flexible work patterns so we are happy to receive applications from colleagues who are looking to work either full or part time.

About The Beacon School
I am delighted to welcome you to The Beacon School.
Every child has the right to an exceptional education. I consider it a privilege to work alongside the staff at The Beacon School, each of whom share this view. We are a school that is proud to sit at the heart of the community of Banstead, and our aim is to serve that community through the provision of an exceptional education alongside a wide breadth of enriching experiences.
We are an inclusive community - staff at The Beacon School are committed to ensuring that all students are supported to excel academically. However, our community strives for more than that. It is essential that each of our students recognise that academic success, whilst important in securing opportunities for the future, will not be enough to truly thrive. It is just as important that our students recognise and embrace the values that our school community hold to be important. For these values are what will ultimately define our students in the future. By becoming values driven individuals, our students will be best equipped to shape for the better the communities that they will build for themselves. Academic excellence underpinned by strong values will allow each student to fulfil their true potential.
We trust that the ambitions that we hold for our students are shared by all within our community. I and my colleagues at The Beacon School will maintain the highest expectations of all our students in every respect. This is especially true when it comes to our values. We are fortunate to draw upon the support of our Multi Academy Trust, GLF Schools, whose own core values of Respect, Inclusivity, Integrity and Kindness align with our own philosophy. Our most important partners however are our parents and carers. We are determined to work in genuine partnership with families to ensure the success of all our students.
I recognise that few decisions are more important than where to apply for the next step in your child’s education. For those families that place their trust in us, each colleague at The Beacon School will work relentlessly to honour the faith that you put in us. I am confident that by the time your child moves on to the next step in their educational journey, you will reflect that this choice was undoubtedly the right decision for your child.
