Head of Chemistry

Head of Chemistry from September 2019
This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, dynamic, well-qualified and inspirational teacher with a proven track record to lead this highly successful Department. Chemistry is one of our most popular subjects at A Level, and girls achieve outstanding GCSE and A Level results. 

Candidates should be keen to encourage creativity, helping every girl to become confident and successful in Chemistry, and will be able to make their own mark on teaching and learning through the School. The successful candidate should be able to teach all year groups up to A Level (and including Oxbridge preparation). The ability to teach an additional Science subject to at least KS3 would be advantageous.

This is a thriving, well-resourced Department, based in a custom built Science Block and supported by a team of well-qualified Technicians.
