We are seeking to appoint a full time (part time considered for suitable candidate), teacher of History to teach in our school. The ability to teach English to KS3 would be beneficial. 

Our vision is that the curriculum is the key driver for well-rounded global citizens. As a Historian, you are incredibly well-positioned to teach help us to deliver this ambition. 

This position arises due to the relocation of the previous post holder. It is a permanent position with both part time and full time options available. The successful applicant will be paid on the main professional scale. The successful applicant will be required to teach History to students in all year groups, including GCSE & A-Level and undertake the role of form tutor delivering the class’s weekly lesson of Personal & Social Education. Applications are welcome from candidates at any stage in their career.

History is a successful department in the school. There are three members of staff who are all expected to teach across all year groups. There is a good amount of Ad Level teaching and ideally the successful applicant will have some experience of teaching A-Level History but more importantly an enthusiasm and wish to do so.

The department has three dedicated teaching rooms.

All pupils are taught History as a separate subject in Years 7-9 (four, fifty-minute lessons per fortnight for years 7 and 9; three lessons per fortnight for year 8). All pupils have to study Geography or History as one of their GCSE optional subjects with some choosing to study both subjects. History is a popular choice at A-Level, with class sizes of between 10 and 20. Further details on the History curriculum can be found on the school’s website (https://www.keaston.bham.sch.uk/page/?title=History&pid=1066).

 Extra-curricular activities are an important feature of the Department’s work with visits including a trip to the Black Country Museum and Bosworth Castle.

 Examination outcomes at both GCSE & A-Level are strong with 62% of GCSE grades being 7 – 9. A Level is a particular strength with 100% of grades being A*-B and 50% at A or A*.

 We are seeking to appoint a committed & enthusiastic teacher who enjoys working as a member of a team and is constantly seeking ways in which they can improve on their current practice
