Teacher of Physics
From September 2025
An enthusiastic, well-qualified Teacher of Physics is required from September 2025. This is a rare opportunity to join an energetic, forward-thinking and high achieving department. Physics is a core subject up to IGCSE and around 150 Sixth Form pupils study OCR Physics A level.
The successful applicant will be committed to delivering genuinely imaginative, varied and challenging courses at all levels in the school. The role would also suit an ambitious and talented graduate.
We seek to create a classroom ethos of collaboration and discussion, in response to a variety of high-quality stimuli. The last few years have seen a significant growth in the range of departmental resources, and we are excited by the enrichment that this continuing process provides.
The School has its own salary scale and offers generous non-contractual benefits, well above the maintained sector, to attract high-calibre candidates. Accommodation may also be available for the successful applicant. There is very strong commitment at Hampton to supporting the continuing professional development of colleagues.
The successful applicant will be expected to teach up to 30 (40 minute) lessons per week, which would potentially include a games afternoon and a form tutor period. The role involves planning appropriate lessons and dealing with marking and reporting. In this academically selective school, the challenges include stretching the most able up to Oxbridge level.
Contribution to departmental co-curricular activities as well as the wider life of the School is also expected from staff at Hampton.
Hampton is rated 'exceptional' by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) for pupils’ achievements and learning. Inspectors also praised the School for fostering a culture “in which the individual matters and everyone’s contribution is valued .” Equality, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our ethos and the School has a thriving partnerships programme.
We encourage applications as soon as possible as the School reserves the right to commence or complete the interview process at any time prior to the closing date.
