We require for September 2025, a well-qualified and inspiring Teacher of Science, with a specialism in Chemistry. It is a full-time post and an ideal opportunity for a teacher looking to join a very supportive Science team. This role is for an Early Career Teacher or for a more experienced teacher who wishes to develop their career further in a new setting.
Salary: MPS/UPS including London Fringe allowance (with a potential TLR).
Haileybury Turnford was rated Good by Ofsted, in all categories, in March 2022.
We require an excellent teacher of the highest calibre to join our committed and talented team. You will have the opportunity to teach Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level Chemistry. The Science Faculty consists of a team of well qualified science teachers and science technicians.
The Science Faculty moved into a brand new building in September 2021. The successful candidate would have their own laboratory for all lessons.
We are a school with serious support from one of the country’s top independent schools. If you would like to make a real difference to our students in a very supportive environment, we would love to hear from you.
It is an exciting time to join us. When Ofsted visited in March 2022 they were very clear about the very high quality of education at Haileybury Turnford.
“Pupils love the fact that their school is friendly and welcoming. They say that it is a school where they can be themselves. This is because it is a very tolerant community. Pupils feel very safe. They attend regularly and promptly and take great pride in presenting and organising their work carefully.”
“Pupils know that teachers always expect them to work hard. They are grateful for this. Pupils know that they can always learn in lessons.”
“Leaders have brought improvements to many areas of the school since the previous inspection, including behaviour and the curriculum. Parents are very appreciative of the way the school has changed.”
“The school is a calm and orderly environment.” [Ofsted, March 2022]
There are excellent professional development opportunities to support your own personalised learning, and we would aim to fully provide this support to the successful candidate
