WHSB seeks a dynamic and enthusiastic Teacher of Biology. The School welcomes applications from both experienced teachers and graduates looking to train as a teacher. There are Pastoral TLR positions available for experienced candidates.
The Biology 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 supporting and extending them. We have a particularly effective mentoring scheme, in which Sixth Form students mentor those lower down the School. Pupils in Year 11 and the Upper Sixth will also sit the respective Biology Challenge and Biology Olympiad organised by the UKBC, and students often progress to the follow-on rounds at all levels. Further to this, we offer our students the opportunity to visit King's College London to experience a brain dissection, as well as the Biology Live series of lectures in London and guest lectures at the School. The Biology 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 Biology. In Summer 2024, 75% of candidates at Advanced Level were awarded A*-B grades, with 20% of candidates achieving an A* grade. At GCSE, in the Summer of 2024, 83% of pupils were graded at 9-7 with 35% being awarded the very highest grade.
