Assistant Subject Leader - Physics TLR £3527 p.a. plus R&R £5,000 Required for September 2026 Are you an ambitious and reflective teacher who wants to make a difference to the life chances of our young people by joining our Science team? Physics is popular subject at A Level and the school is on the DFE Schools Rebuilding Programme, which means that the successful applicant can be part of shaping the future of Physics in our new school building which will open in 2028. You will need to be able to teach Science to students in all Key Stages 3-5. A £5000 recruitment incentive (R&R) payment for successful candidates applying directly to RLT for this role, is payable after a qualifying period of two full terms in this role. This includes a 2-year retention period. Please see our attached information sheet for more details. This is a ‘Good’ school (Ofsted 2022) with great students and ambitious, talented staff, who aim to develop students who have the belief in themselves that anything is possible. We want each one of them to aspire to be the best they can be without any limitations and it’s important to us that our teachers feel the same. Do you want to work in a school that: is friendly and community centred, where staff genuinely feel part of a team; places staff well-being at the heart of everything we do; has excellent student behaviour so teachers can teach and students can learn; prioritises high quality bespoke CPDL as well as opportunities for collaboration and support across a successful and highly respected multi academy trust; is well resourced and where each teacher has their own classroom complete with Clevertouch interactive screen, visualiser as well as a Chromebook. We want you to apply if you are aspirational to grow and learn yourself, have a keen interest in becoming the best teacher you can be, building effective relationships and transferring to students the same love for your subject that you yourself will have. All teachers have the opportunity to develop their own teaching and leadership qualities, through our own bespoke CPDL programme, following a relevant master’s course, NPQs, or off-site training of their own choosing through our bespoke professional learning programme. You will also have the opportunity to engage with good practice across Oxfordshire as we play a significant role within the River Learning Trust and engage with teaching colleagues outside our four walls. Through this partnership, we have a strong focus on educational research to inform our practice, and we link closely with other schools. Our staff tell us they genuinely feel like part of a team; a team who are striving to help each student flourish both academically and personally. That’s important to us, if we are going to embody our vision and if you are our kind of teacher, it will be important to you too.
