TEACHER OF CHEMISTRY (Maternity Cover)

MPS / UPS (Outer London)

Required for September 2025, a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher of Science to teach Chemistry in this lively and high-achieving girls’ selective school.  The vacancy arises from maternity leave anticipated to run from September 2025  to  May 2026.

Chemistry is taught throughout the school.  Students take Triple Science at GCSE and the majority go on to study A-Level sciences.  We promote STEM opportunities for girls and would expect the colleague appointed to work actively towards this aim.  Our state of the art Science facilities (Sept 2017) include an astronomy dome and tracking telescope.  We are a well resourced school.

In its recent Ofsted inspection Quality of Education and Sixth Form Provision at Woodford were judged ‘outstanding’ (November 2022).  WCHS encourages a wide range of extra-curricular activities.  It provides a friendly working environment and offers established programmes of teacher induction and CPD.

Applications can be submitted by email (to recruitment@woodford.redbridge.sch.uk) and must include the completed London Borough of Redbridge application form.  Applications via CV will not be considered.

Closing date for applications:  Monday 22nd April 2025 (9am)
