Teacher of Chemistry or Physics

The Role

We are seeking to appoint a suitably experienced and enthusiastic Teacher of Chemistry or Physics to join a highly successful and established department, to teach mainly across the 11-18 age range. 

In Years 7-8 Science, we broadly follow the Activate Science schemes of work, however there is some scope for individual teachers to adapt the schemes of work. Our departmental/school assessment policy also reflects National Curriculum Assessment Levels. Class sizes average up to 20 across the school. 

In Year 9, students start the Science GCSE AQA Trilogy Course. They are assessed at the end of the year and students who demonstrate excellent subject knowledge progress onto the separate science courses in Year 10. The remaining students continue with the combined science course.  At A level, we follow the OCR A syllabus.  Sciences are a popular choice at A Level for Ewell Castle pupils.

The Science department enjoys 6 well-resourced laboratories including interactive smart boards. Currently the department consists of seven full time members of teaching staff and two experienced Science Technicians.

We run a weekly STEM club and Science co-curricular activities are popular. The Science Department takes a lead role in running the School’s STEM week which coincides with the British Science Week.
