Job overview

St Paul’s Way Trust School, in association with King’s College London, is seeking to appoint an outstanding and creative teacher of Science (any specialism). The post would be suitable for both an NQT and a more experienced teacher who would like to develop their skills and expertise in a large, well-resourced Science faculty.

This is an excellent career opportunity for a colleague who is passionate about the entitlement of young people to a rich and varied Science curriculum. Working within a vibrant and highly successful faculty, you will be an outstanding classroom teacher with a passionate commitment to the progress of all students in our fully comprehensive and heavily oversubscribed school. The successful candidate will have an unwavering belief in the potential of every student. (S)he will do what it takes to ensure that students achieve their best, and will have the contagious enthusiasm for the subject which excites and motivates students.

Science, delivered through our unique Faraday science curriculum, is an increasingly popular subject in the school’s academic sixth form and the successful candidate will be able to develop their A level teaching experience. Members of the Science team also have the opportunity to work with academic colleagues at Queen Mary University of London, one of our Trust Partners, both to extend their own subject expertise (through our innovative Teacher Fellowship scheme) and to provide additional research opportunities for our students. Students are already working on a cutting edge DNA research project funded by the Welcome Trust (Authentic Biology) in our brand new research centre.

In March 2013, Ofsted described the school as ‘Outstanding’ in every category, including the VI Form. We were recently designated as a National Teaching School. The school was commended for its “relentless pursuit of scholarship and excellence”. Our award winning new building is situated in the heart of East London and Professor Brian Cox OBE is our Patron.

If you would like to play your part in creating outstanding provision for our students, we would very much like to hear from you.
