Ditcham Park School

Ditcham Park School is a unique, successful and thriving school situated in 16 acres of the beautiful South Downs National Park. We have 400+ pupils, aged 4 to 16 years who benefit from a caring and supportive ethos and relatively small classes. GCSE results are consistently impressive and the school was ranked 14^th best independent school, in category, in the country based on its GCSE results. Pupils of Ditcham Park School are proud of their vibrant learning community which is committed to providing everyone with the opportunity to discover their talents, realise their potential and become well rounded, socially responsible citizens in a school ‘where every child is known and valued’.

The Science department plays a central role in developing pupils’ curiosity, resilience and problem-solving skills through engaging theoretical and practical learning experiences. We aim to inspire pupils to think critically, investigate independently and develop confidence in applying scientific knowledge to real-world situations.

The department follows the AQA specification for GCSE Science and teaches both separate science and combined science routes.

Science contributes significantly to the school’s STEAM curriculum and works collaboratively with other departments to promote innovation, analytical thinking and awareness of future career pathways available to pupils.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable teacher to join our Science department in a part-time teaching role – working presence and pattern to be discussed as part of the interview process. The successful candidate will teach Science across Key Stages 3 and 4, delivering engaging lessons that inspire pupils through practical investigation, enquiry-based learning and scientific exploration.

The role would suit an energetic and versatile teacher with a passion for Science education and wider school involvement.
