Graduate Teacher of Physics in Windsor

Graduate Teacher of Physics

Role Introduction

There are six places each year and subject availability varies. This year, we are able to support Graduate Teachers in the following departments:Chemistry, Computer Science, Design, Divinity, English, Geography, Mathematics and Physics.

We are seeking a passionate Graduate Teacher of Physics to join our large and successful department.

Our well-resourced department is home to twelve teachers and three technicians who work across nine laboratories, a practical preparatory room and a dedicated project room for STEM group work.

All pupils study Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in Year 9, before choosing at least two sciences for GCSE. The majority choose Physics, with between 70 and 80 going on to study the subject at A level. Engineering, Physics and Natural Sciences, at top universities, remain popular destinations for our leavers.

We embrace innovations in teaching and learning, particularly the use of technology in and out of the classroom, and we hope to attract candidates willing to explore this approach.

Physics thrives beyond the syllabus through active societies, an observatory, Olympiad competitions, a pupil-led science publication, and popular STEM electives. With its scale, breadth, and commitment to innovation, the department is exceptionally well placed to support and develop graduate teachers at the start of their career.
