Job description

The Fulham Boys School is seeking an excellent Physics teacher to join the Science department. The ideal candidate will be someone whose enthusiasm for, and love of, their subject will permeate the whole school community. They will be joining a collaborative department who support each other and help boys achieve their best in Science.

Our Science department has seen huge growth in the last 3 years and the Sciences are increasingly popular subjects within our Sixth Form, with nearly a third of our current Year 12 studying Physics. 62% of last year’s A-level Physics cohort secured an A or B grade, with 63% of our GCSE separate scientists achieving an 8 or 9 grade in Physics. The successful applicant will play an integral role in contributing to the increasing success of boys’ outcomes at KS4 & KS5.

The department has many strengths including a strong Head of Science, passionate teachers and access to a wide range of teaching resources. The department strives to prioritise practical skills throughout the curriculum. Lessons take place in six purpose-built science labs, with a dedicated Science technician on hand to support and provide state of the art equipment.

About The Fulham Boys School

The Fulham Boys School, located in the heart of Fulham, is a highly successful and oversubscribed school with a good reputation in the local community. In 2024 at GCSE the school sits in the top 3% nationally for progress and achieved 90% 4+ in English & Maths and 73% 5+ in English & Maths. In the sixth form, the school is proud to once again achieve ALPs 3 which places us in the top 25% nationally for KS5 results.

We offer all of our students an extended school day with all of our boys in school until 4:10pm Monday to Thursday and 2:45pm on Fridays. During this time, our extensive co-curricular offer enables students to take on a new sport or find their passion in debating, gardening or social enterprise. We want our students to leave FBS equipped for the workplace and life beyond.

What we offer

As a school we are passionate about the professional development and wellbeing of all of our staff. We offer:

• 172 school days per year with 5 INSET days
• Sixteen (16) weeks of school holidays - more than most state schools
• An annual staff wellbeing day where the school is closed
• Exceptional commitment to effective, evidence-based CPD that takes place on a daily basis and supports all staff to grow in their roles and prepare for future roles.
• Free staff lunches during term time, tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit in the staff room
• Subscription to the Education Support employee assistance programme
• Half-termly ‘shining lights’ where staff nominate others for recognition
• Regular staff socials and sport
• Use of the on site gym
