Beths Grammar School is a large multi-cultural school on the borders between London and Kent serving a wide range of vibrant and exciting communities. We specialise in boys' education in the main school and have a large, co-educational 6th form.
The Science Department pride themselves on their collegiate ethos and professionalism. The department is housed in the Science block with ten purpose-built teaching laboratories, and two preparation rooms. Each laboratory is equipped with a personal computer and an interactive whiteboard. There is a Head of Science, Subject Leaders for each science as well as a KS3 coordinator. There is currently a team of four chemistry specialists, including the subject lead, as well as support from technicians.
All students do separate award Biology, Chemistry and Physics at GCSE and there are large number of students choosing to study sciences at A-Level. Many students go on to study science, engineering, medicine, veterinary medicine and dentistry after A levels.
The science staff are highly motivated, employing a variety of teaching pedagogies and providing many opportunities for sharing good practice. There are many informal meetings in addition to the formal departmental meetings, thus ensuring effective communication and consistency of delivery across all Key Stages. The department continues to achieve excellent results in each of the three subjects at both GCSE and A-Level.
This is an exciting opportunity for a well-qualified, enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher looking to progress to or remain at Head of Chemistry to join our large, vibrant outstanding Science department, with its proven track record of embracing innovative approaches to teaching and learning, for September 2025.
