A well-qualified, inspiring Biology graduate, or a closely related discipline, starting in September 2026, is required to teach at this academically selective, coeducational North London day school.

Applicants should be academically well qualified and be able to teach Biology with confidence to the most able Sixth Form pupils, as well as assist in elite university applications. The school has significant experience in successfully training teachers who enter the profession without formal teaching qualifications and in providing suitable opportunities for continued professional development for experienced teachers. The school supports colleagues who wish to gain Qualified Teaching Status.

All pupils study Biology as a separate subject in Years 8 to Year 11, ultimately following the Edexcel IGCSE course. A general science course is taught in Year 7, to which all three science departments contribute and which all members of the Science Faculty can be expected to teach. The majority of pupils will take IGCSEs in all three sciences. High quality teaching materials produced within the department are used throughout, although individual teachers are encouraged to shape their lessons according to their own biological interests. Over the last few years, 98% of pupils taking Biology at IGCSE achieved 9-7 grades, with the majority of these gaining a grade 9. Biology at IGCSE achieved 9-7 grades, with the majority of these gaining a grade 9. In the Sixth Form, the Cambridge International A Level course is followed, and Biology is a popular choice for pupils. Standards of achievement are high, with the number of A* % at A level regularly over 50%. Every year, several pupils apply to Oxford to read a life science or to Cambridge for Natural Sciences, and a significant number of pupils also go on to study Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine.

There are four modern Biology laboratories (some with dedicated experimental areas), a departmental office and separate prep room. Two full-time technicians work in the Biology Department. The department organises regular visits to public lectures and invites speakers to the school, and the department supports a number of thriving academic societies ranging from a dedicated Biology magazine to a pupil run Biology society to the Aquarium Builders club. The department places a significant emphasis on experimental work, and it is not unusual to find pupils working in the department after lessons on individual or group projects. All Sixth Form pupils take part in the annual Biology Olympiad Competition, where the overwhelming majority will gain a medal or commendation. Biology teachers supervise a significant number of extended projects with a life science focus.
