Job description

We are a school that values diversity and individual contribution, supporting and encouraging staff to pursue their interests and achieve their ambitions. We are seeking an outstanding Physics teacher, whether newly qualified or more experienced, to join a school where Physics is an exciting, popular subject. You should be capable of teaching at all levels and be keen to advance the standing of an already strong department and to play an active role in the academic and extra-curricular life of a lively, positive and high achieving school. It would be an advantage to be able to offer a second science subject.

Physics is a popular subject at all levels. Nearly all students take Physics in the Middle School and uptake at Physics A Level is impressive.

The department is committed to outstanding teaching and learning and students achieve superb results in the subject that are frequently above the school average. 77% of candidates achieved A*/A at A Level last summer and 88% of candidates were awarded a Grade 8 or 9 at GCSE.

Diversity – The School is fully committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We have an established and representative staff Equality and Diversity Board to help drive forward positive change. A further Equality and Diversity Committee has recently been formed from our student population. We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. Acknowledging a lack of ethnic diversity within our staff community, we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates for this role. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.

Closing date: 9am on Tuesday, 10 November 2026

We will be shortlisting and interviewing as applications come in so early applications are advised. Please note, we may appoint before the closing date.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check, online checks and receipt of two satisfactory references
