Teacher of History

Required from January or April 2025, we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed and ambitious teacher of History with qualified teacher status to join a successful team.

The Humanities Faculty is an extremely successful and innovative team of specialist staff teaching the subjects within it. These include: History, Geography, Religious Studies across all year groups; Business Studies at KS4 and 5; and Sociology, Politics and Economics at KS5. The subjects are extremely popular among students at KS3 and, as a result, there are multiple classes at GCSE and A Level and we have a strong record of examination success.  Our History team constantly contributes towards pedagogical improvements across the school and they strive to offer students an engaging curriculum. This is complemented by a strong extra-curricular provision and annual trips.

Benefits of working for our school:

• Access to high quality career development pathways, including a personalised induction plan, with opportunities to take on additional responsibilities within a large and well-resourced school.
• Extensive professional development to ensure high quality teaching through INSET days, themed whole school meetings, support in completing national professional qualifications and departmental meetings with a focus on training.
• A strong professional tutor team led by experienced staff to support all of our Early Career Teachers. Early Career Teachers receive beyond their statutory induction requirements.
• A focus on wellbeing led by a staff wellbeing committee, promoting activities such as golden week, subsidised yoga and staff social activities.
• Flexible working opportunities at a family friendly school, which includes a Primary School on site.
• On site Starbucks as well as over 150 car park spaces and electric charging bays.
• Opportunities to be part of a range of school trips including destinations in Europe and the USA.
