Teacher of Physics or ChemistryBack

The Skinners’ School is currently seeking an enthusiastic and able teacher of science (Chemistry or Physics specialist) to join a very strong department from September 2026 or January 2027.

• The role would suit a Physics specialist, preferably with the ability to teach Chemistry to GCSE, or vice versa.
• We welcome part-time applicants (preferably 0.8) and full-time applicants.  
• Experienced teachers and ECTs with good curriculum knowledge are all welcome to apply.
• A willingness to contribute to the extra-curricular life of the school will be a distinct advantage.
• The salary will be commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the successful applicant.

The Science department at Skinners’ achieves consistently excellent results across all Key Stages. We start in year 7 with an integrated Junior Science course which represents crucial preparation for GCSE courses, which start in Year 9.

All students take separate sciences at GCSE: 70% of grades at 9-7 is the norm. All three sciences remain very popular at A level, attracting two to four groups in each of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Results at A level are excellent: last summer 85% of Chemistry grades were A*-B, along with 70% of Physics grades. Of the class of 2025, over 50 students have gone on to read science related degrees at Russell Group universities.

The department comprises 14 expert teachers and three very capable and supportive technicians. The Science has its own staff room where a considerable amount of information about teaching, learning and student progress is shared. All teaching takes place in spacious labs which are on a rolling programme of refurbishment.
