The Fulham Boys School is seeking a Teacher of Psychology to join our successful psychology department.
The department has sustained success at KS5, gaining an ALPS 3 in 2023 and achieving 100 per cent A* to D.

Students are excited to learn psychology, and its success is underpinned by the passion of our teachers. Lessons are dynamic and exciting with a “no excuses” approach to challenge and engagement. We are looking for an outstanding teacher whose passion for psychology is shown throughout their lessons. The role also comes with an exciting opportunity to introduce psychology at KS4 for the first time in September 2024, and continue to raise psychology’s profile in KS3 through our extensive extra-curricular programme.
