Teacher of Science

Required from September 2026 Teacher of Science We are seeking an enthusiastic, committed and passionate full-time Teacher of Science to join the team at Hampton College on a permanent basis, from September 2026 . This role is ideal for either an experienced teacher seeking a new opportunity to further develop or an ECT looking to start their career in a supportive environment. The successful candidate will ideally be able to teach across Key Stages 3-5 and may also be required to teach outside their main subject area. The ability to teach an additional subject would therefore be advantageous. About the Department The Science department at Hampton College strive to make science accessible and enjoyable to all students. Discussion of our work and a collaborative approach is most important to us, and we are constantly reviewing, developing and refining our teaching strategies. Our schemes of work, at Key Stage 3, have been updated to follow the AQA 5-year plan in order to best support progress through the students’ time in the college; these were originally written with support from the Spectrum resources and undergo a continuous cycle of reflection and improvement. We place a large emphasis on practical work and the development of investigative skills in our lessons and the department is equipped for this purpose. ICT is regularly used to enhance learning; this will be developed further as we incorporate more activities that involve using our extensive range of data logging equipment. Students are currently taught in mixed-ability groups in Years 7, 8 and 9. The timetable offers some flexibility in the way in which we group students, and we regularly review this. As Key Stage 4, we are currently following courses offered in the AQA Science suite; our schemes of work have been developed from resources published by OUP and AQA. About one third of the year groups follow the separate sciences route with the rest following combined science (trilogy). We are constantly reviewing our GCSE offer to ensure we serve both the needs of our students and of the measures reported in the league tables. Success at Key Stage 4 means that the Sciences are very popular A level choices. We follow the OCR in Biology and Chemistry, and AQA in Physics. We also deliver the Level 3 AAQ Extended Certificate in Human Biology.
