Acland Burghley School is looking to appoint a well-qualified teacher of Science from September 2026 to join our friendly and successful Faculty team.

This is an excellent career opportunity for a strong classroom teacher to work in a thriving inner-city comprehensive which has inclusion at its core. We have an experienced and committed team of teachers. Science is a popular choice for post‑16 students.

We have an experienced and committed team and excellent facilities including two technicians.

The successful candidate will be passionate about learning in Science, and will demonstrate a strong commitment to ensuring that every child achieves the highest possible academic standards.

This post would be suitable for a well‑qualified ECT.

Situated close to Hampstead Heath in the heart of North London, Acland Burghley is a mixed, inclusive, community comprehensive school that enjoys high levels of parental support and a close collaborative relationship with other local schools. We are part of the popular and highly successful LaSWAP post‑16 consortium with Parliament Hill, La Sainte Union and William Ellis Schools, and a founder member of Camden Learning.

In 2020, we entered into a long‑term residency agreement with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, who now have their offices and rehearsals on our site.

Above all, applicants should demonstrate an uncompromising belief in the potential of every student. If you share our passion for ensuring high standards for all, and have the ambition to be part of an exciting future for young people in our school, we would very much like to hear from you.
