Job Introduction
Inspire the next generation of physicists at the school where it all began with Newton.
The King's School, Grantham, is seeking a Teacher of Physics to join our thriving Science department.
Founded in 1528, King's is a selective Grammar School with a proud tradition of academic excellence — and a unique connection to the history of Physics itself. Sir Isaac Newton walked these corridors as a student in the 1650s, and that spirit of scientific enquiry remains at the heart of everything we do.
This is a school where Physics matters. Approximately 50% of our Year 12 cohort choose to study the subject at A level, and our students consistently achieve exceptional results. They are motivated, intellectually curious and genuinely enjoy being challenged. For a Physics teacher, that combination is rare — and it makes King's a particularly rewarding place to work.
We welcome applications from both experienced practitioners and early career teachers. What matters most is a genuine passion for Physics and the ability to bring the subject to life in the classroom. Whether you are an accomplished teacher looking for a department that matches your ambition, or someone at the start of your career seeking an environment where you will be properly supported and developed, this role offers a real opportunity to grow.
You will benefit from well-resourced facilities, including dedicated laboratories and centralised teaching resources that reduce workload.
A comprehensive induction and CPD programme will be tailored to your career stage, and the school has a strong track record of developing and promoting its staff.
The start date for this position is 1 September 2026. Please view the vacancy on The King's School website and apply directly through the TES website.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service, barred list check, references and medical checks. Pre-employment checks are in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.
Fluency Duty
In accordance with Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 (Fluency Duty), the ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
The school advertising the vacancy will contact you directly regarding the outcome of your application and any interviews. When interviews are taking place schools will follow all Government and Public Health England Guidelines.
All shortlisted candidates will need to verify their eligibility to work in the UK at interview.
