We are looking for an outstanding, ambitious History specialist, with a commitment to continuing professional development, to join our high achieving Humanities Faculty. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward thinking oversubscribed school that celebrates success for all; developing the talents of students and staff alike.   

History is part of the Humanities Faculty with a well-established and innovative team with varying degrees of experience and expertise. We work effectively as a team sharing all of our lessons and resources with each other. We pride ourselves on delivering a broad and sequenced curriculum and ensuring that all History lessons are of a very high standard. The successful candidate must be able to teach mixed ability History classes at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 and be willing to contribute to the further development of the team. The faculty has consistently achieved good academic outcomes for students at Key Stage 4 and History is a popular subject at Redden Court School with a large number of students choosing to take GCSE History. 

We will gladly accept applications from ECTs, recently qualified and experienced teachers. The ability to demonstrate excellent subject knowledge and to consistently teach inspirational lessons within this highly committed faculty is essential.

Child places at Redden Court School are available for staff who are employed at the school (please ask for more details).

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment.  We require the successful candidate to undertake an enhanced criminal records check via the Disclosure and Barring Service.
