Handsworth Avenue, Highams Park, E4 9PJ PHYSICS TEACHER
September 2025 Start We require a qualified and enthusiastic physics teacher to join a first-class and well-resourced department for a September start date. The successful candidate will teach across the full range of sciences at KS3 and within their specialism at KS4 and potentially KS5. This is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified or main scale teacher to work within a friendly, well-established Science Department which is extremely supportive and achieves outstanding results through effective teamwork and collaboration. Highams Park School is a highly successful 11-18 comprehensive school serving its local community. In our most recent OFSTED inspection, our school was judged ‘good’ and our Sixth Form, comprising approximately 400 students, was judged to be 'outstanding'. At GCSE we have a positive Progress 8 score, and at A Level our results have been outstanding, as judged by ALPS, for 8 consecutive years. Highams Park School offers its staff the opportunity to work in a highly regarded school, with dedicated and motivated colleagues and well-behaved, friendly students. Highams Park School offers comprehensive CPDL and is dedicated to staff wellbeing and ensuring that teachers have a manageable workload. Interviews will take place during the week of Monday 10th February. Suitable applicants will be contacted and interviewed before the deadline. Safeguarding Children
We are committed to the safety of our pupils through our recruitment and school practices; all jobs are subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) helps employers make safer recruitment decisions and prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, including children. Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both service delivery and employment of its staff. The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. We use our statutory duties on race, gender, and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith, and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace. The Council is committed to meeting its 4 equality objectives: - Promoting equality of opportunity - Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance, and disadvantage - Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels. - Providing fair, appropriate, accessible, and excellent Services to all. Respecting Diversity is a core Council value. To support the above and reduce the risk of bias in its recruitment activities, the council is operating an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self-identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme.
