Shiplake College is seeking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic Teacher of Science to teach across Years 7-13 from September 2025. Applications are welcomed from candidates with any Science specialism and experience teaching this subject up to, and including A-Level, and the ability to deliver a second Science at GCSE level. This is a superb opportunity for a suitably qualified practitioner to join a successful and ambitious department. Applications are welcomed from experienced teachers and ECTs alike.
The role would suit an energetic teacher committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning; a teacher who can inspire and challenge all our pupils to achieve their personal bests. You will be passionate about your science specialism and will be keen to communicate your love of science learning, both in your lessons and beyond the timetable.
Science is a strong subject at the College, and we are proud of our pupils’ achievements at GCSE and A Level. We have ten main teaching laboratories, all of which are either brand new, or have been refurbished this academic year.
Shiplake College is an independent boarding and day school for around 540 pupils aged 11 to 18. There has been a co-educational Sixth Form since 1998 and in September 2023 girls joined in Year 7, as we look to the future as fully co-educational. Situated in 63 acres of beautiful countryside near Henley-on-Thames, we offer an outstanding education based on small class sizes, excellent facilities and dedicated teaching staff. All teaching staff are expected to contribute to the busy programme of co-curricular activities on offer.
We offer a competitive salary, excellent free lunches, and a contributory pension scheme together with access to our gym and sporting facilities and a beautiful working environment.
Early applications are welcomed, as the College reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process.
