The Role

Graveney is an extremely popular and successful 11-19 school, situated in Tooting, SW17 on a pleasant site with excellent facilities. We have a commitment to providing the best opportunities to all students and to developing professional skills and career opportunities for staff.

We wish to appoint a highly motivated and committed teacher of science to teach at all Key Stages and join our large, supportive and successful Science department. Graveney is an oversubscribed, co-educational school designated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted and widely recognised as one of the top 100 state funded schools in the country.

Sciences are very popular at Graveney and consequently we have many students who continue studying science to A-level. There are currently over 150 students studying A-level Chemistry consequently you will be expected to teach at all key stages.

We have high expectations of our students with many aspiring to study Chemistry at university including Oxbridge applications. At Key Stage 4, most students study separate sciences and staff usually teach only within their subject specialism.

This role offers an exciting opportunity for an inspiring teacher to work in a supportive and energetic team. The successful candidate will need to have excellent subject knowledge, be an outstanding teacher who is keen to develop their practice and bring continued success to our students.

The school welcomes applications from NQTs and offers a very supportive induction programme.

An allowance for additional responsibilities may be available for a suitably experienced candidate
