Kent, United Kingdom Kent College, Pembury Full time

**Head of Physics**

**September 2023**

**Full time**

Kent College Pembury excels in adding value to its pupils both academically and pastorally. An exciting opportunity has arisen for an outstanding specialist to become Head of the Physics department at Kent College. We are seeking someone with the enthusiasm, vision and skills to lead this successful department. The person appointed will be a Physics specialist with the ability to inspire, motivate and challenge their classes. Applicants should have high expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour, excellent organisational and time-management skills, and enjoy working as part of a team.

**The Science Department**

Impressive new science laboratories were opened in September 2008. A modern entrance foyer leads into the new Darbyshire Wing, which comprises three new laboratories (two general purpose and one Sixth Form), upgraded storage and preparation areas, and a new staff work room. The existing laboratories have been upgraded, one as a computer suite with 20 networked pcs and an interactive whiteboard.

Science is a thriving department with a good academic record with well-qualified and dedicated staff who work closely together. Three excellent technicians ably support them.

Students are taught in purpose-built science accommodation, with specialist laboratories for physics, chemistry and biology. The latest apparatus is used and maintained to a high standard. All staff are issued with a Microsoft Surface tablet to use in their teaching and administration.

Academic standards are very high; GCSE, and ‘A’ level results are good and a larger percentage of pupils stay on to study Physics and Chemistry ‘A’ levels than do nationally. Normally we have one Physics, two Biology and two Chemistry sets at both AS and A2 level. Most years see one or two science students being offered Oxbridge or medicine places and a number of others follow science related courses.

**Closing date: Friday 3 February 2023 by Midday**
