TEACHER OF CHEMISTRY (KS3 – KS5)

Starting September 2026
ECTs Allowed

Grey Court is a vibrant, successful and well-established school situated on an impressive site close to the River Thames and Richmond Park. Rated as outstanding in all areas in March 2013, then in January 2018 and again in February 2024, we continue with our ambitious vision for both staff and students. Come and join us!

About the role

The Science Faculty currently offers a wide range of opportunities at Key Stage 3, 4 and 5. We run both separate and combined science options at GCSE. Our results at GCSE level are significantly and consistently above the national average. At KS5 we run a successful chemistry course with results in the top 25% of the country. At Key Stage 5, the chemistry department has developed a strong relationship with Kingston University allowing the students the opportunity to try NMR and Mass spectroscopy first hand whilst synthesising compounds such as paracetamol. We also have an array of extracurricular activities for all year groups and we are looking for a candidate who has the initiative and motivation to get involved and even lead on such opportunities. Chemistry, and Science in general, is a very popular and thriving subject at Grey Court School. This vacancy provides an excellent opportunity to work within the well-resourced, state of the art laboratories in a dynamic and highly successful school. With a relatively new 6 th Form, this is an exciting time to be part of the continuing development of strong Key Stage 5 teaching at Grey Court. ECTs are encouraged to apply.

● want the very best for all young people irrespective of background or challenge

● demonstrate an understanding of the importance of computing across the curriculum

● have the skills, drive and passion to deliver computing across the curriculum.
