About the job
Winchester College seeks to appoint a well-qualified, talented and ambitious Teacher of Chemistry. The successful candidate, who will teach throughout the school, will be energetic and enthusiastic about promoting this popular subject, and will show a willingness to contribute to the further development of this highly successful department, under the guidance of the Head of Chemistry. The subject enjoys an excellent academic record. Each year pupils from Winchester go on to study chemistry and related subjects at Oxbridge and other top universities.
The College, which was founded in 1382, is a boys’ boarding school of 700 pupils. We are committed to the highest standards of academic excellence, first-class pastoral care and the maintenance of a broad and balanced liberal education for all our pupils. Through our non-examined general cultural studies programme (known as Division) we offer an approach to education which develops an intelligent and critical awareness of the world, strong communication skills and a confident ability to think independently and with originality. Our pupils enjoy living in a community in which academic engagement is regarded as a priority; we aim to foster in them an enthusiastic appetite for university study, an unaffected modesty of manner, a strong sense of social responsibility and a lifelong love of learning. In addition to teaching Chemistry, applicants may be required to teach Division.
This post will suit teachers of the highest calibre who will relish the challenge of working with able and articulate pupils in a historic site of unparalleled architectural beauty in the heart of Winchester. All our full-time teachers are expected to act as tutors in one of the boarding houses, thereby making a significant contribution to the pastoral care of our pupils. In addition to this, the successful applicant will be required to contribute in some capacity to our sports and co-curricular programme.
