Teacher of Physics

Reference: JAN20220790
Expiry date: 2022-01-26 08:00:00.000
Location: Highgate, North London
Salary: £36,644.00 - £57,819.00 Per Annum
Benefits: Comfortable and well-resourced environment. Salaries are competitive. The School pays the employer's contribution to the Teachers' Pension Scheme. Free access to the School's sports facilities, including a swimming pool and fitness suite.

An able, well-qualified and inspiring teacher of Physics is required to join this very successful and innovative department from September 2022. The successful candidate will be required to teach pupils throughout the school, from Year 7 to Year 13.  This is an exciting opportunity for either an experienced classroom practitioner who enjoys the company of bright, ambitious and well-motivated pupils or someone wishing to gain experience of teaching in an academically selective secondary school; applicants with experience of either secondary or tertiary education are encouraged to apply. An interest in academic extension, via either research activities, or direct teaching, alongside university preparation, would be an additional and welcome dimension.  

All pupils study Physics as a separate subject in Years 8 to 11 having followed a General Science course in Year 7. In 2019 (the last year of public examinations) 86% of pupils taking IGCSE Physics achieved grades 9/8. In the same year, 70% of pupils achieved A*/A grades at A Level following the AQA specification; results in subsequent years were even better. Several students apply to Oxford or Cambridge to read physics, natural sciences or engineering each year.
