We are a popular and vibrant mixed, multi-ethnic comprehensive school of 1600 students. We require, from 22 April 2025 (earlier start considered), a Teacher of Science to join our diverse and harmonious learning community.
Our students make excellent progress supported by teaching, learning and assessment of the highest standard. Students ‘are extremely complimentary about their school and the staff who work with them. They want to do well, regularly attend and work hard.’ (Ofsted)
We are actively committed to partnership work within London and further afield and work with a number of schools and organisations each year supporting the development of strong practice within and beyond our school. We offer a supportive and vibrant learning community, outstanding CPD and the opportunity for collaborative working.
This exciting opportunity now exists for an ambitious and talented professional to join our highly successful school and our fantastic Science team.
Students benefit from excellent science facilities at Brentside including 13 laboratories of which three are specialist sixth form laboratories.
Ofsted recognised that ‘there is high-quality support available for those new in post’ enabling staff to ‘quickly integrate into the school’ and acknowledged our ‘supportive ethos where staff can share best practice and continue to develop new skills’. Staff also enjoy outstanding facilities including high quality ICT provision and access to a fitness suite.
If you believe you have the passion, determination and high expectations to contribute to our vibrant and cohesive community, we look forward to hearing from you.
In addition, as part of the shortlisting process, we may conduct an online search as part of due diligence checks in the recruitment process.

The school is popular and oversubscribed and successfully serves the needs of our local community. Our students are complimentary about the school and also very proud to be part of our learning community.

We are also well served by public transport and there are excellent cycle routes in the area
