Science Teacher - Outstanding Secondary School - Romford

This Outstanding secondary school in Romford is seeking a driven, thoughtful, and ambitious Science Teacher to join an exceptionally strong and well-established department. This is a school where standards are genuinely high, behaviour is calm and predictable, and teaching and learning sit firmly at the centre of everything they do.

The Science department is one of the school’s strongest faculties. Outcomes at both KS4 and KS5 are consistently impressive, practical science is properly embedded into the curriculum, and staff are trusted to teach with depth and creativity rather than follow rigid scripts. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics specialists are all welcome, and the timetable is built intelligently so teachers are able to play to their subject strengths.

You will teach Science across KS3 and KS4 as a minimum, with the opportunity to teach KS5 for those with the experience and subject expertise. Lessons are well-resourced, laboratories are modern and fully equipped, and technicians provide excellent support, allowing teachers to focus on high-quality delivery rather than logistics.

What truly sets this school apart is its leadership. Senior leaders are highly visible, supportive, and decisive. Behaviour systems are clear, consistent, and work in practice — not just on paper. Pupils are respectful, motivated, and proud of their school, creating a classroom environment where learning is uninterrupted and teachers can teach.

Professional development is taken seriously. ECTs benefit from structured, high-quality mentoring, while experienced teachers are encouraged to develop their practice further or progress into leadership roles if desired. There is no pressure to climb the ladder; equally, there is no ceiling for those who want to.

This role would suit:

• An ECT seeking an Outstanding school with strong mentoring and clear routines

• An experienced Science Teacher wanting stability, respect, and high standards

• A specialist who values practical work, challenge, and genuine understanding
