Teacher of Science Second in Department

We are a popular and oversubscribed 11-19 mixed, multi-ethnic comprehensive school of 1700 students. We require, from January 2025 (earlier start considered) an outstanding Second in Department: Science to join our diverse and harmonious learning community.

This is an exciting opportunity for an existing or aspiring Second in Department: Science to lead and develop both students and staff to achieve their full potential. The successful candidate will lead our hard-working, ambitious and enthusiastic team of science staff to make a real impact, supporting students at all key stages to enable them to achieve outstanding outcomes in science.

Our students make excellent progress supported by teaching, learning and assessment of the highest standard. Students 'are extremely complimentary about their school and the staff who work with them. They want to do well, regularly attend and work hard.' (Ofsted)

We are actively committed to partnership work within London and further afield and work with a number of schools and organisations each year supporting the development of strong practice. We offer a supportive and vibrant learning community, outstanding CPD and the opportunity for collaborative working.

Ofsted recognised that 'there is high-quality support available for those new in post' enabling staff to 'quickly integrate into the school' and acknowledged our 'supportive ethos where staff can share best practice and continue to develop new skills'. Staff also enjoy outstanding facilities including high quality ICT provision and access to a fitness suite.

If you believe you have the passion, determination and high expectations to contribute to our vibrant and cohesive community, we look forward to hearing from you.
