Director of Humanities job summary
We are looking for someone who can bring something special to our school. Someone who has the courage to change the way they do things, who is itching to innovate the way schools approach the curriculum and teaching and learning; someone constantly curious, self-reflective, eager to explore collaborations with potential for pupils, and to experiment with classroom practice.
This position offers the right candidate, an opportunity to lead and shape a high performing team, as well as delivering the curriculum effectively to secure improvements which raise levels of student aspiration and achievement. As a Humanities faculty we epitomise the Academy's 'Heart. Mind. Connect.' values and seek to help our students make moral, spiritual and intellectual sense of the world.
We are a high achieving school with strong values, work ethic and mutual sense of purpose. We care about the little things, enjoy learning together and share unrelentingly high standards. We are incredibly proud that our school has been awarded the Investors in People Platinum Award - the only through school in the country to attain this level.
The successful candidate will be an outstanding teacher. They might be a current senior leader looking for a different challenge or current middle leader wanting to develop their skills. What matters is your mindset.
