General Science Teacher

Apply Now

Science is a thriving department with a good academic record with well-qualified and dedicated staff who work closely together. Three excellent technicians ably support them.


Students are taught in purpose-built science accommodation, with specialist laboratories for physics, chemistry and biology. The latest apparatus is used and maintained to a high standard. All staff are issued with a Microsoft Surface tablet to use in their teaching and administration.


Academic standards are very high; GCSE, and ‘A’ level results are good and a larger percentage of pupils stay on to study Physics and Chemistry ‘A’ levels than do nationally.

Normally we have one Physics, two Biology and two Chemistry sets at both AS and A2 level. Most years see one or two science students being offered Oxbridge or medicine places and a number of others follow science related courses.
