Physics Teacher / ECT

Physics Teacher / ECT
London
£40,317 – £62,496 (Inner London MPS/UPS)
Full-Time | Permanent | September Start

Not all Physics roles are created equal…

• Do you want to teach Physics in a school where students choose it — not avoid it?
• Are you looking for a department where subject knowledge is respected and developed?
• Ready to work somewhere that treats Physics as a flagship subject, not an afterthought?

KPI Education are working closely with a high-performing London secondary school that is on a mission to become a centre of excellence for STEM — and they need a top-tier Physics Teacher or ECT to be part of that journey.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a school where Physics is thriving, outcomes are strong, and there is real appetite to push even further.

Why this school?

Because they actually get Physics.

• Separate specialist Physics teaching at KS4 & KS5
• A-Level Physics numbers well above national average uptake
• Students regularly progressing to Russell Group universities for Physics, Engineering & related fields
• Access to cutting-edge lab equipment and dedicated Physics spaces
• Partnerships with external organisations, STEM programmes, and university outreach

This isn’t a department stuck in the past — it’s evolving, ambitious, and properly resourced.

What makes this role different:

• You’ll be teaching students who are curious, capable, and willing to be challenged
• You’ll have the autonomy to teach beyond the specification — bringing real-world Physics into the classroom
• You’ll be part of a team that values subject expertise and intellectual discussion
• Leadership actively supports career progression into Lead Practitioner / Head of Physics routes

The impact you’ll have:

• Deliver high-quality Physics across KS3–KS5 (depending on experience)
• Inspire future scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers
• Contribute to a department aiming for exceptional outcomes, not just good ones
• Play a role in shaping the future direction of Physics within the school

Who they want:

• A Physics specialist (or strong Science Teacher with Physics specialism)
• QTS (or working towards as an ECT)
• Someone with strong subject knowledge and the confidence to stretch top-end students
• A teacher who brings energy, clarity, and passion into every lesson

Let’s challenge you:

• How do you explain the hardest concepts in Physics so they stick?
• What’s your approach to pushing A-Level students towards top grades?
• How would you make Physics the most popular subject in a school?
• What separates a good Physics teacher from a great one?

This is not a “fill a gap” hire — this is a strategic appointment.

If you’re serious about teaching Physics at a high level, in a school that genuinely values it, this is your move.

The best teachers won’t hang around — and neither will this opportunity.
