The Physics Department at Westcliff High School for Boys (WHSB) has been a high performing Department for many years. We have had consistently outstanding results in GCSE and Advanced Level Physics. The Department has grown considerably over recent years and currently runs five groups at Advanced Level. Currently there are 65 students studying Physics in Year 12 and 35 studying Physics in Year 13. At GCSE, 185 pupils study the AQA GCSE Physics course.
The Physics Department also plays an important role in the extra-curricular life of the School. The Department offers a variety of additional clubs which pupils can attend, aimed at assisting those in need of support or extending the more able. We have a particularly effective mentoring scheme, in which Year 12 and Year 13 students mentor younger pupils. Students in Year 13 also sit the Physics Olympiad organised by the British Physics Olympiad (BPhO), and are often awarded gold medals. Further to this, we offer our students the opportunity to visit CERN in Geneva to see the Large Hadron Collider, and to Sizewell B to see inside a nuclear power station.
This post would be suitable for Early Career Teachers or a more experienced teacher. Equally we would be pleased to have applications from Physics/Engineering graduates who are interested in teaching.
