The school is committed to nurturing successful students and good citizens through strong relationships in line with the school motto, “rather use than fame”.

All the teachers are able to teach general science at Key Stage 3, as well as their own specialism at Key Stage 4 to triple or combined Science groups. There is a diverse A Level offer: William Ellis leads the vocational science provision in the LaSWAP Consortium and teaches all three Science A Level subjects. Enrichment provision in the department includes partnership work with the local CRICK Institute and takes advantage of education provision at a range of London university and museum venues.
The successful candidate will be:
- A Highly motivated and inspirational classroom practitioner with excellent subject knowledge
- Committed to maximising pupil progress through setting high standards and by delivering effective teaching and learning
- Able to motivate, lead, support and challenge students to be successful
