What we are looking for

We are looking for someone to join NSB following our recent recognition as 'Secondary School of the Year' at the Northamptonshire Education Awards and ‘Comprehensive School of the Year’ in the East Midlands for 2025 – the third time we have secured this honour in The Times and The Sunday Times ‘Best Schools’ Guide’ based on our outstanding GCSE and A level results.  Are you looking to become part of a History team of passionate teachers - all committed to delivering a curriculum that develops inquisitive, resilient and thoughtful students? Would you like to become part of a school community that has consistently secured ‘Well Above Average’ GCSE Progress 8 scores for the past 5 years and recognised as the ‘Top Performing secondary school for GCSE Progress across the whole of West Northamptonshire’ in 2024 with an extraordinary P8 score of +0.95?

We are looking for a History teacher with experience of delivering high quality teaching and learning and yielding positive outcomes for all students. The successful applicant must be a highly motivated professional with a desire to support students of a range of abilities and produce lessons that are both inspiring and driven by evidence-informed practice. Above all, the successful applicant must place the importance of student learning at the forefront of their teaching. As a teacher within the History department, you must have a broad range of historical understanding with an awareness of how disciplinary knowledge is developed through a range of substantive concepts. You must recognise the importance of teamwork and be keen to join a highly effective team of subject experts.
