Join to apply for the Teacher of Biology role at TES FE News
Job Overview
This is an exceptional opportunity for a new Teacher of Biology to join a flourishing boarding and day school, set on an attractive 100-acre campus and in a beautiful part of rural Surrey.
The School’s strapline “United by Diversity”, embodied inter alia in the uniquely diverse School community, provides the backdrop to a department that nurtures scientific insight, objectivity, and sensitivity in discussion and intellectual enquiry; we aim to teach how to think, not what to think.
This appointment is important for the continuing academic growth of the School, at an exciting moment following significant investment into new buildings, refurbished science labs and with growing pupil numbers and clear evidence of development in all areas of School life.
The successful candidate will:
* inspire and motivate pupils to achieve and develop their full potential
* work with the Head of Department to deliver effective, engaging and interesting subject teaching
* support the School’s expectation of excellent educational provision, safeguarding and promote the welfare of children
All full-time teachers have responsibility for academic tutoring of around 16 pupils. Part of the tutoring responsibility involves a duty evening in one of the Houses. All full-time staff also play a part in the co-curricular and pastoral life of the School according to their skills and aptitude: there is a wide range of sports, arts, community and other activities offered in the afternoons and on Saturday mornings. The School is a co-educational boarding and day 11-18 school for around 480 pupils, with a significant number of full boarders. We are an HMC school and value our heritage and role among British co-educational independent schools.
In return, we offer a rewarding environment, as well as a number of notable benefits such as substantially reduced school fees at associated schools, free school lunches, free on-site parking, use of gym and pool facilities, and competitive pay rates.

King Edward’s School Witley is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. All successful applicants are required to complete an Enhanced disclosure through the DBS. Shortlisted candidates will also be reviewed on social media and online platforms.
