The Royal Liberty School where “Staff know their pupils very well, and as a result, pupils are happy and safe. Pupils are polite, respectful and mature and value diversity and equality.” (OFSTED February 2024).
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of Science to join our supportive and successful faculty. All our students study Science with many of them completing Triple Science at GCSE level. Our boys are very enthusiastic about the study of this subject and take advantage of the many extra-curricular activities offered by the faculty (such as the Faraday Challenge and Lego Robotics - in both of these, teams from our school reached the regional finals). Results in Science are consistently strong and Triple Science are all close to the National average; we are very proud of this success and are looking for a new teacher to join our aspirational team.
This post would be very suitable for an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking for their first appointment. ECTs are fully supported by an induction programme delivered by the school and the Empower Alliance.
We take a collaborative view of learning where good practice is shared through a structured INSET programme within school and across the Trust.
Royal Liberty School is a small comprehensive, 11-16 school for boys, located close to Gidea Park Station. We pride ourselves on our strong sense of community and the excellent behaviour of the students.
Our results are impressive with the majority of subjects consistently above national average;
- English 9-4 82%
- Maths 9-4 82%
- English and Maths 9-4 78%
We have recently celebrated our centenary (our main school building has a history of dating back over four hundred years) and we are proud of our traditions, our strong sense of community and the excellent behaviour of our students. We are part of the Success for All Educational Trust with Redden Court School, Sanders Draper School and Rise Park Academies.
