We are looking for an enthusiastic and well-qualified graduate to join the School in our excellent Physics department from September 2024.

Students follow directed courses with numerous enrichment opportunities, including the opportunity to take part in the school Science Club, projects, and the British Physics Olympiad. These allow for the development of independent learning and many cross curricular thinking skills. Students are given the opportunity to do an Extended Project Qualification in addition to their A Level courses, with many interesting scientific topics amongst those chosen. The department is committed to the development of all students, allowing them to reach their potential.
