Job overview
Leader of Learning for History
Starting January 2025
Grade: TMS/UPS + TLR2B
Lyng Hall is a successful and inclusive school with good outcomes for pupils. We pride ourselves on removing barriers to learning through our core values: passion and ambition.
Our Ofsted Inspection said Lyng Hall was a place ‘where all teaching is consistently good or better’. ‘Pastoral care for pupils is exceptional’ and as a result, ‘the pupils feel very safe in school’. ‘Leaders have developed a highly personalised curriculum’ and ‘the school work to promote personal development and welfare is outstanding’. We are ambitious in our goal of delivering a world class education to all pupils.
The Trust is seeking to appoint an innovative and highly motivated Leader of Learning for History to join a strong and enthusiastic Humanities team where teachers are committed to delivering a high quality, lively and interesting curriculum to challenge and inspire all our students.
History is a core part of the Humanities department and is a popular subject at GCSE with students achieving good results. We have been working on developing a robust, “world class” and inclusive curriculum which reflects the diverse nature of the school. We intend to further develop this curriculum and include further opportunities for students to extend their learning in History, including cross-curricular links and out of school opportunities. The leader of learning would be expected to take a key role in curriculum development, monitoring and assessment within the department by working co-operatively with the other leaders of learning and the subject lead.
Lyng Hall is supported by and proud to be part of Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. As part of the Multi Academy Trust, we enjoy working in collaboration with the other MAT schools. This provides fantastic opportunities for both our staff and students.
