We are looking to appoint a fixed term teacher of chemistry to join our school, a school of great character. The role is available immediately, subject to the completion of all safeguarding checks, and is in place until 8 July 2026.

Exeter School seeks an inspirational and experienced teacher of chemistry. This represents a great opportunity to become an integral part of this thriving department. The position would be equally suited to either a newly qualified or a more experienced applicant. The applicant should be keen to contribute to the broader life of the school through cultural, sporting or other extra-curricular activities.

The chemistry department is situated within the science centre which provides specialist accommodation for the three separate sciences, electronics and computer science.  The department consists of four dedicated laboratories and a preparation room.  Each laboratory is well equipped with apparatus and fume cupboards with additional, more specialist equipment from the preparation room. In addition, all laboratories have data projectors and Apple TV. Schemes of work make extensive use of departmental resources from the school intranet.

The department provides specialist subject teaching for pupils in Year 6 at Exeter Junior School as well as for pupils in Years 7 and 8 who receive one double lesson per week. The courses followed are designed by the department and aim to provide an enhanced coverage of the National Curriculum. The Edexcel International GCSE (9-1) course commences in Year 9, with Years 9, 10 and 11 all receiving 3 lessons per week. Pupils are set within science at the end of Year 9, with approximately three-quarters of a given year group targeted towards the separate science IGCSEs in biology, chemistry and physics and the remainder towards IGCSE Double Award Science. Chemistry is a very popular A Level within the school and the department delivers the AQA specification. This year there are currently three sets in the Lower Sixth (about 30 pupils) and three in the Upper Sixth (about 30 pupils).
