Imagine Your First Lesson...

The classroom is buzzing.

One student is explaining why the sky appears blue. Another has just solved a mathematical problem they thought was impossible five minutes earlier. Hands are up, conversations are flowing and curiosity is everywhere.

This is the kind of learning we believe in.

Our school in Hackney is looking for an outstanding Science & Maths Teacher who wants to do more than teach a curriculum. We're looking for someone who can ignite curiosity, build confidence and help young people discover what they're capable of.

Situated in the heart of Hackney , our school is ambitious, inclusive and proud of the opportunities we create for every student. We believe that exceptional teaching changes lives—and we invest just as much in our staff as we do in our pupils.

What Your Week Might Look Like

No two days are ever the same.

You'll teach engaging Science and Mathematics lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4, encouraging students to ask questions, solve problems and think independently.

You'll celebrate breakthroughs—both big and small.

You'll collaborate with colleagues who genuinely enjoy sharing ideas and supporting one another.

You might find yourself running a STEM Club after school, preparing students for a science competition, accompanying a museum visit or helping a Year 11 student finally master a topic they've struggled with for months.

Every day offers the chance to make a lasting difference.

We're Looking for Someone Who...

...gets excited when students ask "why?"

...believes mistakes are part of learning.

...can make difficult concepts feel accessible.

...holds high expectations while building positive relationships.

...enjoys working as part of a collaborative team.

...has Qualified Teacher Status (or is on track to achieve it).

...holds a degree in Science, Mathematics or a related subject.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys helping young people succeed.
