About us
Lymm High School is a well-established, 11-18 comprehensive school with over 1950 students (400 in the 6th form) and exceptional resources, including 28 acres of beautiful grounds, a swimming pool, leisure complex and our own residential centre in Anglesey.
We are a welcoming and supportive school, with a strong track record of excellent exam results both at KS4 and KS5. It is also a lovely place in which to work; in addition to good fortune with our physical surroundings, staff are exceptionally positive, committed and supportive.
The role
The Science department is made up of a strong and supportive team of experienced specialist teachers. Physics is a popular and growing subject at KS5 and there are healthy numbers opting for Separate Science at KS4.
We are looking for an inspiring Head of Physics who is keenly interested in how young people learn, committed to high standards in teaching and learning and, with the support of the Head of Science, can lead the Physics department to even greater things. Your level of experience is less important to us than your willingness to learn and your drive and determination to improve outcomes and provision for young people.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this legal requirement.
The successful applicant's appointment will be subject to satisfactory pre-employment clearances including a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
At Lymm High School we recognise the positive value of diversity, promoting equality and celebrating inclusion. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
