Biology Academic Mentor – Enfield – September 2025 Start


This ambitious secondary school in Enfield has built a reputation for academic rigour, inclusivity, and community focus. With a “Good” Ofsted rating and a well-established science department, the school supports both high-achieving pupils and those requiring extra input through targeted interventions. Staff are encouraged to innovate, collaborate, and develop their careers within a nurturing and purposeful environment. The school has a clear behaviour policy and supportive leadership, creating a calm and structured environment for both staff and students to thrive.

  • High-quality mentoring and support from experienced teachers
  • Opportunities to lead small group or 1:1 interventions
  • Future pathways into teacher training for strong candidates

  • Working alongside the science department to deliver targeted academic interventions
  • Assisting pupils in grasping complex scientific concepts through tailored support
  • Providing exam preparation and revision support, especially for GCSE and A-Level cohorts

Biology Academic Mentor – What the School is Looking For

We’re seeking a high-achieving Biology or Life Sciences graduate from a top 30 UK university, with a minimum 2:1 degree.

This role would suit an aspiring science teacher or educational psychologist looking to build experience in a school environment.
