St Mary's Calne is welcoming applications from talented individuals with the ability to teach Physics up to A Level and a desire to join a passionate team from September 2026.
The Science department at St Mary’s has a reputation for excellence and sector leading practice. Our vision is ambitious: the department aims to be a leader in Science education with such breadth and depth that every student at St Mary’s has access to the knowledge, skills and experiences that could set them on a path to become a global leader in the STEM sector.
Our teaching team currently consists of four Biologists, two Chemists and three Physicists and we are well supported by our team of three specialist technicians.
In Years 7 and 8 the girls follow a bespoke curriculum which is specifically designed to ensure that a keen interest in scientific inquiry is engendered from day one. The girls are encouraged to make connections in their learning and tackle some interesting and complex concepts.
From Year 9 upwards the department teaches the Edexcel IGCSE specifications in all three sciences. Typically, over 50% of the girls go on to take Sciences in the Sixth Form, with typically two groups running at A Level for Biology (AQA), Chemistry (Edexcel) and one for Physics (OCR).
We offer bespoke support for entrance into university and have an extremely high success rate for students getting into their first choice, including Oxford and Cambridge. A number of students all go on to study medicine, veterinary science and engineering each year.
