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.
