We are looking for a dynamic and inspirational teacher of History to join our Humanities team and deliver an outstanding curriculum in our new state of the art building. 

Saracens High School has a family ethos and is committed to supporting staff in this rewarding job, while recognising the stress it puts upon us. With generous teacher loadings, an on-site gym that is free for staff, the opportunity for colleagues to take family days, and access to a staff counsellor, we do all we can to look after our staff.

With strong ties to the wider Saracens organisation, we base all we do on the values Discipline, Hard Work, Honesty, and Humility and we focus on character development and making memories, as much as outstanding academic attainment. Last year, KS4 progress was in the top 20% nationally, and KS4 attainment in the top 9%, with Fischer Family Trusts contextual scores putting us in the top 7% for progress and top 4% for 9-4 in English and Maths. This summer our first cohort of Year 13 students achieved exceptional KS5 attainment this summer, with 90% going on to university or to begin a degree apprenticeship, with 15% going to a Russell Group University.

You will be highly organised, knowledgeable in the subject, effective in driving pupils' progress. You will be ambitious to create a strong reputation for your subject area within the school and wider. This is a unique opportunity to shape a challenging curriculum, to ensure that our pupils can attend the best Universities or successfully compete for sought-after apprenticeships. The ability to contribute to the Politics A Level may be an advantage. 

Our aim is to develop aspirational life-long learners, who will thrive in their chosen career path, embracing our values, and demonstrating a strong moral purpose and a desire to make a positive contribution to society and their local community.
