Welcome

We are delighted to invite applications for the role of Teacher of Science from September 2026. This is a full-time, fixed- term - 1 year position, offering an exciting opportunity to join the school and to contribute to the Science provision at Charlton School.

Why Charlton School?

I feel extremely privileged to be the newly appointed Principal of such a successful and popular 11–16 comprehensive school, and a proud member of the Learning Community Trust.

At Charlton, we believe education is about much more than academic achievement. While we are committed to ensuring every student achieves the best possible outcomes, we also place great importance on developing character, nurturing curiosity, and inspiring futures. Our vision - Building Knowledge, Developing Character and Inspiring Futures - guides everything we do.

We take pride in nurturing happy, healthy young people who are equipped with the knowledge, strength of character, and confidence to lead safe and successful lives in modern Britain. Our broad, balanced and knowledge-rich curriculum is matched to individual needs, offering opportunities for enrichment and personal growth throughout each student’s five-year journey with us.

Our school values -  Respect, Responsibility and Resilience - are at the heart of everything we do. Students are encouraged to respect themselves and others, take responsibility for their choices and learning, and show resilience in the face of challenges. These values are embedded in our culture and reflected in the way our students conduct themselves both in and out of school.

We see each student as an individual and support their development through a strong pastoral system. Form Tutors, Heads of Year and Pastoral Managers work together to track progress and provide guidance, ensuring every child feels safe, supported and valued. We are committed to the physical health, emotional wellbeing and personal success of every member of our school community.

Our curriculum offers a wide range of subjects - from sciences to the arts and sport to technology - giving students the chance to explore their interests, discover new passions and shine. Beyond the classroom, we provide extensive enrichment opportunities that help students build character, confidence and lifelong skills.

Charlton is well established and respected in our local community, with a consistent record of high standards and strong partnerships with feeder schools, families and community organisations. We celebrate diversity and encourage our students to be seen as mature, confident and responsible citizens who wear their uniform with pride.

We are proud of our school, proud of our students’ achievements, the dedication of our staff, and the caring, inclusive atmosphere that makes Charlton such a special place to learn and grow.
