The Arbor School is seeking a highly motivated Teacher of Physics to join the Science department in the Secondary School.
The department currently consists of four Science teachers, a full‑time lab technician, and four brand‑new, well‑equipped laboratories.
We are looking for an experienced teacher with a passion for this core subject.

Enough For All, For Ever
The Arbor School opened in 2018 with a different vision of what education could and should be – experiential, authentic and inspired by the natural beauty, human ingenuity, and profound ecological and social challenges of the Arabian Peninsula. The cultivation of a learning community uniquely committed to understanding and restoring the health of ecological and human communities as interconnected parts of a whole requires equal parts optimism, ambition, and humility.
A fundamental belief in the inherited goodness of people and their capacity to act with empathy and compassion underscores the sense of hope that is fundamental to learning for a sustainable future. The resilience and determination to tackle challenges that have grown to global proportion is essential to finding sustainable solutions and orchestrating the social changes needed to grow them to scale.
The realisation that comes from recognising that we are all students – never a master – drives our commitment to ignite a lifelong love of learning.
Recognising the interconnected nature of the cognitive, affective, and participative domains, and their roles in shaping learning, we are pursuing a holistic approach to teaching and learning, designed to prepare learners:
- to understand the interconnected concepts of sustainability, individual and collective well‑being, and environmental and social justice;
- to find purpose, meaning and joy in their interactions with the natural world and with each other, and to seek to understand people who are different to themselves;
- to experience a sense of accomplishment and self‑efficacy through their actions at home, in school and in the wider world.
Arbor teachers are a part of a community which is inclusive, fun‑loving, and active. Arbor teachers enjoy authentic friendships with their colleagues, positive relationships with school leaders who care for their wellbeing, and are a team in the true sense. Arbor teachers are resilient in the face of challenge, are stable and calm in the face of change, and creative and flexible when solving problems.
Arbor teachers bring their passions and interests to enrich our school and are clear that there is an expectation to do so. We commit to meeting agreed deadlines, to communicating proactively with an assumption of positive intent and share a passion to provide an education of the highest quality to our students.
The successful candidate will be proficient and experienced in teaching Physics across Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level. You will form an integral component of the science team, with responsibilities across KS3, KS4 and KS5.
