Ready to spark some curiosity this September?

We’re working with a forward-thinking secondary school in Newham looking for a Physics Teacher who can bring energy, clarity, and a bit of wow-factor to the classroom.

Whether you're an experienced teacher or an ECT finding your feet, this is a school where you’ll be supported, trusted, and given the space to do what you do best, teach great lessons.

What’s the vibe at this school?

Think supportive leadership, well-behaved students, and a department that actually shares ideas (no lone wolves here).

• Strong, approachable SLT who value their staff
• A well-resourced science department with modern labs
• Collaborative planning, no reinventing the wheel every evening
• A diverse and engaged student community
• Real focus on staff wellbeing, not just a line in the handbook

What you’ll be doing

• Teaching Physics across KS3 and KS4 (KS5 if that’s your thing)
• Creating engaging lessons that make tricky concepts click
• Building positive relationships with students who are keen to learn
• Working alongside a supportive Science team

What they’re looking for

• Someone who can bring lessons to life, whether that’s through experiments, storytelling, or a well-timed analogy

Why this role stands out

This isn’t a “keep your head down and get through the day” kind of school. It’s a place where teachers are trusted, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Perfect if you’re:

• An experienced teacher ready for a fresh start in a school that gets it
