The Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic, organised, and student‑focused History Teacher to work with our Humanities department.

As a Teacher of History, you will deliver challenging, inclusive lessons that secure the progress of all learners.

You will teach and implement a high-quality history curriculum to enable all our learners to thrive ensuring students achieve their individual potential and develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and character to excel in the fast-paced knowledge rich world of the 21st century. There is the need to equip students with the skills they need to: extract, interpret, distil, understand, question, utilise and critique the vast information which they can access.   History is an ‘enabling’ subject, providing the link between the arts and the sciences and you will have the opportunity to support, challenge and inspire all our students.

Your responsibilities will include planning and preparing high-quality lessons, assessing student work, providing feedback, and maintaining positive relationships. You will also have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities both inside the Humanities Faculty and across the school. You should have extensive subject and pedagogical knowledge alongside strong communication skills and the ability to inspire young people. A commitment to raising educational achievement alongside continued personal pedagogical development are essential.

You will be part of our very successful and popular Humanities Department joining our team of two History teachers and four Geography teachers and will play a key role in further developing our shared pedagogical vision and curriculum.
