Are you passionate about shaping the next generation of critical thinkers, problem solvers and changemakers? Our thriving Social Sciences department is entering an exciting new chapter and we are seeking an inspiring leader to help drive its continued success. With brand new state of the art sixth form facilities, growing student demand and a culture built on excellence in all that we do, this is a rare opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a school that champions both high achievement and personal growth.

Social Sciences is a vibrant and expanding area of our curriculum enriched by dedicated staff, motivated students and a strong record of results across GCSE, A level and vocational pathways. As a team, we are proud to offer one of the most diverse Social Sciences provisions in West Yorkshire, supporting learners to explore the world around them, ask big questions and strive for academic success in a supportive and ambitious environment.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with a Psychology specialism as this remains a popular and growing subject at both GCSE and A level. The ideal candidate will bring subject expertise, ambition and the leadership skills needed to continue driving strong outcomes and innovative practice across the department.

If you are an enthusiastic teacher and leader who believes in the power of Social Sciences to transform lives, we would love to welcome you to our community as we continue to grow, innovate and inspire.
