Teacher of Science (Physics)

Who we are

Marylebone Boys' School is a Free School Academy which opened in September 2014. We have c600 boys in Years 7-11 and c150 male and female students in our MBS Sixth Form. 

We are an inner-city boys’ school with a cohort of 50% Pupil Premium students. We are an academically rigorous school with an emphasis on good behaviour, commitment to learning and outstanding teaching, where knowledge is valued and available to all who are prepared to work for it. Expectations are high for all pupils. Those who need extra time and support will be helped and expected to achieve their full potential, including our special resource provision for boys with autism. Our motto is “studio et industria”, which can be translated as “through application and hard work”.

In addition to our strong academic focus, we place great importance on personal development and supporting the ambitions of our students. The staff care passionately about the well-being of the pupils and are driven to ensure their educational experience is the best it can be. Our students are enthusiastic learners and actively engage with the extensive range of opportunities available to them.

All staff have access to an on-site gym, cycle and tech schemes, subsidised lunch, and a generous defined-contribution pensions scheme.

Safeguarding

We follow safer recruitment practices and appointments are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and safeguarding checks as required under Keeping Children Safe in Education will be carried out. 

What we are looking for

If you are looking for the exciting opportunity to take ownership, be creative and explore new teaching and learning approaches from day one, as well as the chance to work with a diverse range of pupils in an energetic environment, then this role would suit you.

We are seeking a Physics specialist who can teach GCSE and A-Level Physics. The ideal candidate would want to join a collaborative, innovative and vibrant team who work hard to make a difference to our boys, many of whom face material and social disadvantage. This role would give the appointed candidate a real chance to make a meaningful difference. The role has potential for the awarding of a TLR, depending on the suitability and experience of the candidate.

The job would also suit an Early Careers Teacher or someone who is in the early stages of their teaching career and wants experience of a different school context.

The school is committed to providing excellent professional development and training – be that for an ECT programme (supported by Ambition Institute) or relevant CPD for a person in any stage of their teaching career. 

Our location

We are located in a brand-new building in the heart of the prestigious Paddington Basin area with a Sixth Form block recently on the same road as our main site on North Wharf Road. 

Our school is situated in an ideal location, with excellent relationships with a multitude of company headquarters based in close proximity, including M&S, Mitsubishi, Visa, amongst others.
