We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and inspirational classroom practitioner as teacher of Biology. The post holder would ideally be able to teach an additional Science subject up to GCSE level. There is also a possibility of a Second in Charge - Science role. The Science department comprises eight full-time members of staff, and two laboratory technicians. The Science staff share an office and the approach of the department is collaborative. All members of the department are expected to teach throughout the College, including at A-level. In Years 7 and 8, pupils follow the Activate Science scheme of work. From Year 9, they follow AQA GCSE syllabuses, with all pupils taught by subject specialists. All pupils study at least two out of four Sciences in Years 10 and 11 for GCSE from a suite of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science and Physics. Many pupils opt for three Sciences at GCSE with Biology, Chemistry and Physics being very popular A-level choices, where we follow the AQA specification for all Chemistry and Physics and OCR specification for Biology. Psychology is also a key part of the A-level curriculum. There is a thriving Science Club for younger pupils, while our sixth formers attend a Medical Society, and work closely with subject staff to promote the sciences beyond the curriculum. Each year, some of our ablest students choose to study scientific courses at leading universities across the country. The department has six main teaching laboratories, a smaller laboratory suitable for A-level groups, and a departmental office. The Science teaching facilities are very well resourced by two prep rooms. The department makes extensive use of IT and has a wide range of data-logging sensors and many software applications are available. Located in central London, the school benefits from easy access to exceptional local facilities and numerous prestigious educational institutions, including Imperial College, Kew Gardens, the Royal Institution and the Science Museum.

You will work closely with senior leaders, teachers, support staff, families, and external professionals to ensure our pupils receive the highest quality support and inclusive education. This is an exciting opportunity to drive exceptional outcomes and strengthen our culture of inclusion. KSA has a significantly higher than national proportion of pupils with SEND across all four areas of need, making this role both highly impactful and professionally rewarding. You will champion pupils' needs, shape strategic direction, develop staff practice, and oversee high-quality interventions and provision. Our ideal candidate will have: Experience of teaching in challenging classroom environment Experience of achieving excellent standards of pupil progress in classes taught Experience of working with pupils who have SEND To apply, please visit our website via the button below. The deadline to apply is on 23rd February 2026. Please note we will be reviewing applications on an on-going basis, and this advert may close earlier than advertised depending on the level of response. Early application is advised. To discuss the role, please feel free to email the Principal's PA, Abigail Saleh. ( ) or phone on . Benefits We believe in aiming high, working together, being kind and leading the way. Through weekly individual coaching, year group intellectual preparation time and whole school PD, we invest in your growth and development as a teacher to ensure you can excel in creating the best possible climate for learning for our pupils to thrive in.

Find out more about the benefits of working for Ark at arkonline.org/careers/why-work-with-us/ About Us We are a genuine all-through school, with our pupils staying with us from nursery to sixth form across two sites, ten minutes-walk apart. Because of this, we have a unique opportunity to have a long term and dramatic impact on our pupils' lives. This all starts in our primary school, where our pupils develop, and grow a love of learning. We have a strong track-record as a school in making a significant impact on our pupils' lives. We adopt a mastery approach in primary, meaning that our pupils have more time and explicit teaching of the skills and concepts that underpin long term success in academics, enriched by a varied and cultural capital enhancing curriculum which inspires and engages our pupils. Our specialist teaching model allows pupils to benefit from expert teaching in PE, music, art, humanities and science and means all staff have time to plan each subject properly. In September 2019 we merged with Ark Paddington Green Academy and combined to form one all-through King Solomon Academy with Nursery-Year 4 on our Younger Years Site (Crompton Street) and Year 5 - Year 13 on the Older Years Site (Penfold Street).
