Head of Science

Wimbledon College is a popular and oversubscribed school which prides itself on its exam results at both GCSE and A level with results significantly above national averages. As a Jesuit school, our ethos can be summed up by St Ignatius Loyola's vision for Jesuit schools as being "for improvement in living and learning for the greater glory of God and the common good." Central to St Ignatius' vision and to the College is the education of the whole person, providing each pupil with the opportunity to strive for excellence in all that they do.

As Head of Science, you will lead a department with a consistent record of outstanding results, where both attainment and progress are significantly above national averages^. You will oversee a broad curriculum that includes Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at KS3, KS4, and KS5, as well as BTEC Applied Science^^^^. The department is well-resourced, featuring ten refurbished laboratories, a dedicated independent learning area for Sixth Form students, and the support of three full-time science technicians and a dedicated Teaching Support Assistant^^^^^^^^^.

Interviews will take place as soon as is practicable after the closing date. Shortlisted candidates will be expected to prepare and deliver a 50 minute lesson followed by an interview. There will also be an opportunity to tour the school.
