About This Role
Harrow School is situated in Harrow on the Hill in north-west London. The School is located on a 324-acre estate which encompasses much of Harrow on the Hill and is one of the best-known schools in the world. Around 837 boys study at Harrow and live in the School’s 12 boarding houses. Employees particularly value the School’s beautiful green estate, the positive working environment, and good relationships with their colleagues.
The Department
This is an exciting time to join a thriving team of twelve staff; nine teachers and two full-time technicians. This year the department moved into a brand-new building with seven teaching laboratories, all with ‘wet and dry’ areas, ducted fume cupboards, and electronic teaching aids. An additional designated research laboratory benefits from benchtop NMR & IR machines with a vision to enhance lessons and extra-curricular learning. The seminar room and departmental office provide a hub for small group lessons and interaction between colleagues. The large lecture theatre on the ground floor is conveniently located and well equipped for hosting internal and visiting speakers. The new Teaching, Learning & AI Hub is another whole-school resource which allows all subjects to experiment with interactive and collaborative learning styles.
It is one of the most successful departments in the School, with excellent results achieved at all levels. Almost the whole cohort of 160 boys in a year group elects to study Chemistry to Edexcel IGCSE and a high proportion of students are actively engaged with the super-curriculum. Recent success in the RSC’s Top of the Bench is underpinned by high levels of participation in national competitions such as the JCC, NST|C, Analyst and essay competitions. This ethos of engagement is modelled by the Sixth Form, almost all of whom volunteer for the C3L6 & Olympiad competitions, securing a strong number of Golds, and even the prestigious Roentgenium award. Boys consistently win places at Oxford, Cambridge and other top Russell Group universities to study Chemistry, Natural Sciences, Biochemistry, Medicine and Chemical Engineering, with an increasing number to the top US institutions.
Those keen to further develop their passion for the subject are keen to engage with the CREST award, while many volunteer to pass on their enthusiasm by teaching introductory lab schools to visiting primary school children as part of the School’s Shaftesbury Enterprise partnership and outreach initiates.
The Role
The successful applicant will teach Chemistry throughout the School; make an enthusiastic contribution to the work of the department; maintain and further the high profile of the Chemistry department among Harrovians; contribute to the super-curriculum, which includes Electives, lectures and all other academic extension and may contribute to co-curricular activities, which are an important part of boarding school life.
Support and training to achieve Qualified Teacher Status can be offered if required. We occasionally appoint Masters with outstanding qualities and a good degree who do not have a formal teaching qualification.
A detailed job description is included with the attachments to this advert.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful applicant must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with any past employer and the DBS.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are values that are important to us at Harrow. We believe in diversity of thought and actively welcome anyone regardless of their background to bring their valuable and relevant skills to our community.
