Job overview
Teacher of Science (Full/PartTime)
Required for January 2025
Two terms initially with the definite possibility of a permanent appointment for the right candidate.
MPS/UPS + London Fringe Allowance
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed and engaging science teacher to join our fantastic school. The successful candidate will work within an ambitious, vibrant and high performing department to instill a love of science in all students. The department runs multiple A-Level classes in each of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Environmental Science, and an ability to teach one of those to A-Level would be expected of the successful candidate. Students routinely make excellent progress at GCSE and A-Level across each of the various courses and there is a strong track-record of large numbers of students going on to study science-related courses at university. It is equipped with 11 new labs, each with the latest touchscreen technology, and a large prep room, which provides a central hub for the whole department.
Although the vacancy is for two terms initially, there is definitely the possibility of a permanent appointment for the right candidate. Our vast list of extra-curricular activities and trips means students engage positively with school and represent our values with pride. Staff turnover is low, as they feel well-supported and enjoy working here, with many choosing the school for their own children.
An application form and further details are downloadable from the website www.tbshs.org. Application forms and a cover letter should be sent to Mrs C Hughes, Headteacher’s PA, at clare.hughes@tbshs.org
TBSHS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the safety and welfare of all our children and expects staff to share this commitment. A Disclosure Barring Service check is required for all successful applicants.

The Bishop’s Stortford High School is a popular, oversubscribed 6FE school of 1260 students, providing a single-sex education for boys in Years 7 to 11 with a thriving mixed sixth form of close to 400 students, including 134 female students. We have just relocated to a brand-new state-of-the-art school on a large site less than a mile from our previous location. We have a fantastic new learning environment, supported by cutting edge technology, and huge opportunities for the future.
As a result of excellent teaching, our students consistently achieve fantastic academic outcomes at both GCSE and A-Level. “Behaviour is exemplary in lessons and around the school.” which means the school has a calm atmosphere and students are ready to learn. "Pupils are polite, well-mannered and kind.” and “are ambassadors for the school, demonstrating excellent behaviours in all that they do.” (Ofsted 2023).
The school’s motto: ‘Respice, Aspice, Prospice’ means we must look to the past, the present and the future. We are keen to promote traditional values of courtesy, respect and good discipline, though we also recognise the need to provide all our students with the tools they require to flourish and succeed, both now and in the future, and help them develop the skills and qualities that will ensure they are ready for the challenges that lie ahead. Our focus is on delivering high quality, engaging lessons and providing students with the care and guidance that allows them to succeed.
We combine this with our extremely successful and wide-ranging enrichment programme, in which all students are encouraged to participate, as we believe that leading rich and varied lives allows them to flourish. We build positive relationships, which means all students are provided with the support they need to really engage with, and enjoy, school life.
We encourage an open flow of communication between school and home so that parents really feel in touch with their child’s development. TBSHS is an active member of the Bishop’s Stortford Education Trust (BSET) as we feel that collaborating locally brings many mutual benefits to each school.
We are fully committed to preparing our young people to be thoughtful, capable, responsible citizens of the future. We provide a ‘Truly all-round education’ and we firmly believe this to be a great school and a special place for children to learn and grow.
