January Start | Long-Term Opportunity

We are currently seeking a talented Science Teacher to join the Science Department of a popular and well-established secondary school in Enfield from January. This is an excellent opportunity for a Science specialist to join a supportive and ambitious school at an exciting time in its development.

The school is a mixed, non-selective 11-18 comprehensive with a strong community ethos and a clear vision centred around three core values: Belonging, Responsibility and Excellence. The school is committed to providing an ambitious and engaging education for all students, with high expectations around behaviour, teaching and learning.

Having been judged Good by Ofsted, the school has continued on an ambitious school improvement journey, with a strong focus on raising achievement, developing teaching and learning and ensuring every student has the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

The Science Department

The successful candidate will be joining an established Science Department within a school that places considerable importance on its curriculum and specialist teaching facilities.

Students study Biology, Chemistry and Physics across KS3 and KS4, with opportunities to develop their scientific knowledge, practical skills and understanding through an engaging and challenging curriculum.

The school has recently undergone a significant redevelopment, with a brand-new three-storey teaching building officially opened in September 2026. The new campus includes modern, sustainable classrooms and excellent specialist facilities for Science, Technology and Computing, providing a fantastic environment in which to teach.

The school's 2025 examination results demonstrated that 94% of students achieved a GCSE qualification in Maths, English and Science, while 97% achieved at least five qualifications at GCSE level.
