St Paul’s Girls’ School is an extraordinary institution. While we consistently achieve some of the best GCSE and A‑level results in the country, we believe education is about far more than exams. With fewer rules and no uniform, we actively nurture creativity, curiosity and a love of discovery. Our rich co‑curricular programme builds confidence, encourages independence and strengthens our connection with the wider community. It’s a distinctive environment – ambitious, thoughtful and forward looking – but most importantly, it is a place where people matter.
This sense of freedom extends to the people who work for us, so you can expect considerable scope to demonstrate your potential and enhance your skills.
We are now seeking a full-time Head of Physics to join us from September 2026 or January 2027.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead the Physics department for a dedicated and committed practitioner with excellent relevant academic qualifications and a passion for the study of Physics.
Physics is a thriving and successful department comprised of two full-time and three part-time teachers and one dedicated technician. There is a strong sense of collaboration and camaraderie; the department works together to offer an exciting, rigorous and inclusive curriculum and to create opportunities for all students to succeed. The academically bright, enthusiastic nature of students demands that lessons are challenging, dynamic and varied.
In return, you can expect a comprehensive package of rewards, including a pension scheme, private medical insurance after five years’ service, life assurance, season ticket loan, free access to our extensive leisure facilities, free lunches, free eye tests, an advice and counselling service and a generous reduction on fees for your family.
