About this Role

This is an opportunity for a passionate practitioner to contribute to a thriving academic environment and to play an active role in the wider life of the school.

The successful candidate will teach Physics across a range of year groups, delivering engaging, well-planned lessons that inspire curiosity and foster a love of scientific enquiry. Science is taught by specialist teachers throughout the school, with students following the AQA specification at GCSE and A level. From Year 9 onwards, pupils study Biology, Chemistry and Physics as separate sciences, with strong uptake and outcomes at A level.

The Science Department at St Mary’s is a hardworking, collaborative and supportive team. The post holder will be expected to contribute positively to departmental development, including curriculum planning, the delivery of innovative teaching approaches, and the enhancement of practical and digital learning opportunities. There is also a strong expectation of involvement in the school’s co-curricular programme, including STEM clubs, competitions, trips and fieldwork.

This role would suit an enthusiastic graduate or experienced teacher with strong organisational skills, good humour and the stamina to thrive in a busy school environment. The post holder will be supported in their professional development and encouraged to contribute ideas that help move the department forward.
