The post is permanent and full time. Lessons are 50 minutes long, and an A Level student currently receives six lessons spread between two teachers per week. A GCSE student receives receive two or three depending on GCSE choices. The timetable includes lessons on Monday through to Friday, although occasional Saturday participation is required. Physics is an increasingly popular choice at A Level and numbers can be as high as 25-30 (about 30% of a year group) per year spread between two or three sets. We teach the OCR ‘A’ A-level Physics course over two years. The successful applicant would be expected to maintain or preferably expand this profile. At GCSE AQA Physics is taught both as a subject in its own right (Triple Award option) and as part of the Double Award Science AQA Trilogy GCSE qualification. Normally, approximately 40 - 50% of a year group would be taught the Triple Award option.
