The Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Teacher of Humanities to join our Humanities Faculty and deliver high‑quality teaching across KS3 and KS4. You will plan and deliver well‑structured lessons with clear learning objectives, maintaining high expectations for behaviour, engagement and achievement. Through effective assessment, marking and use of data, you will monitor progress closely and ensure all students are supported to make sustained progress, including those with SEND, those who are gifted and talented, and other identified groups.
Working collaboratively with colleagues, you will contribute to curriculum development, the Faculty Improvement Plan and the wider life of the school, including extracurricular opportunities. You will use a range of teaching strategies, resources and technology to stimulate curiosity, promote literacy and numeracy, and secure strong learning outcomes, whilst upholding safeguarding, behaviour and professional standards at all times.
What We're Looking For
You will be a qualified secondary teacher with strong subject knowledge and a track record of consistently good or outstanding teaching. You have a secure understanding of current curriculum requirements, effective teaching and learning strategies, and the use of assessment and data to inform practice. Confident in managing behaviour positively, you build strong relationships with students and colleagues and create an inclusive, purposeful classroom environment.
You are well organised, resilient and reflective, with a commitment to continuous professional development and to raising standards for all learners. A strong team player who can also work independently, you are enthusiastic, adaptable and aligned with the school’s values, contributing positively to the wider school community and always acting as a positive role model for students.
The successful candidate will join an academy that is relentless in its drive to ensure our students and staff alike achieve their very best and our proud of themselves. We are proud to serve our diverse and inclusive community and wish to appoint a practitioner who shares our commitment to young people in challenging circumstances who believes that excellent leadership can leverage high levels of performance and remains optimistic in the face of adversity.

They will become the very best practitioners through bespoke support and opportunities to learn professionally, to collaborate, to lead innovation and to advance their career with us.
