Our vision is to be an outstanding and inclusive educational community where students love learning, are happy, confident, excited by achievement and recognised for their success, we believe we are well on our way to achieving this vision, and we would love you to join us on our journey.

Bridlington School is seeking a passionate and energetic Teacher of History to start asap in February 2026.  We are interested in applications from teachers at any stage of their career; the most important thing is your desire to support the students at Bridlington School in their academic progress.

 The Role

 You can expect to teach History from KS3 to KS5; our uptake of History at KS4 is strong and increasing year on year.  We are also continually growing our 6^th Form cohort.

 Whilst following national curriculum, students will learn about the local history of the town and region alongside important national and international events over the last millennium.  How have major events and people shaped our modern world? 

The person appointed will:

·         demonstrate high standards of teaching and learning;

·         teach History to KS3 

·         teach History to GCSE and, possibly, to A Level

·         be a form tutor and support the academic and pastoral development of your tutor group.

The Team

You will become a part of the wider EBacc team.  Here at Bridlington School we are committed to growing EBacc and have recently appointed an Achievement Lead in this area.

As a subject that lends itself to extra-curricular activities, trips and visits, you can be a part of a team that provides a substantial amount of enrichment to the students in Bridlington.

Bridlington School  

Bridlington School is a successful 11-18 maintained school with over 1,000 students on roll, a number which is rising year on year as our reputation as a centre of excellence grows within the local area.  We have a small but thriving sixth form; the growth of this is an ambition for the school.  Students are polite, respectful and keen to learn, 49% are entitled to free school meals, 25% are also on the SEN register predominantly due to difficulties with literacy and numeracy skills.

What we can offer You

It is an exciting time to join Bridlington School as we continue to strengthen relationships with other local Education providers including nearby Secondary Schools and Primary Feeders.  This provides opportunity to be involved in transition and outreach work, but also connections with peers across the local area.

The school has a genuine and sustained focus on reducing workload, particularly in relation to marking and feedback. 

You will join a supportive department who can assist your own career aims including progression.  Many of our senior staff joined Bridlington School as NQTs/ECTs. 

The site benefits from on-site parking, fitness facilities and subject work rooms/break out areas.  You will also have access to Employee Assistance and the Live Well provision via the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and various discounts such as local leisure centres. 

Application Process  

The school reserves the right to appoint before the application deadline.
