Teacher of Social Sciences, English and Media

MPS

 Commencing September 2026

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, committed and enthusiastic teacher to join our school and college who has a passion for teaching, along with strong subject knowledge and the ability to establish positive relationships with our students.

 The departments at Northgate High School and Dereham Sixth Form College are supportive and welcoming with a huge amount of experience. Their strengths are their ability to communicate their passion for the subject and build positive and productive relationships with pupils. We welcome applications from ECTs as well as experienced teachers.   For the right candidate there will be an opportunity to explore marketing and communication strategies as part of the role.

 You will be joining a school where staff share best practice so that our standard of teaching and support is both high quality and continually developing. We are proud to be the only University accredited laboratory school in Norfolk.  As a Laboratory School we are committed to research-based practice which is strengthened through peer-to-peer learning, ongoing professional development and collaboration with other schools and partners.

 Whilst there are accredited schools all over the world, we were the first in Norfolk to be selected. We were approached to be part of University of Greater Manchester’s Laboratory School network because of our Good OFSTED rating, our strong exam results, our ethos and our record of researched-based pedagogy.

 The successful candidate will be:

• someone who is a highly motivated and inspiring classroom practitioner.
• someone with vision, energy and a real passion for Social Sciences, English and Media.
• able to teach those subjects across Year 7 to Year 13.
• able to enthuse students of all ages and abilities.  

 In return for the right candidate, we are offering:

• a competitive salary in line with MPS. 
• all the advantages of a successful academy group
• being part of an extended network of teachers and leaders who share and exchange ideas and continued professional development opportunities.
• support from creative and innovative colleagues that will ensure your professional practice continues to develop.
• a stimulating and friendly working environment where every member of staff is valued and makes a significant contribution to the school/college.
• training and development opportunities.
• opportunity of additional paid duties.
• contributory pension scheme.
• access to high-quality musculoskeletal physiotherapy provision.
• access to our Employee Assistance helpline for free and confidential advice.

If you feel you have the right experience, skills and enthusiasm, and would like to join our highly committed team, then we would very much like to hear from you.

Closing date for applications is Wednesday 13th May 2026 at 9.00am.
