What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a committed and highly effective teacher of history who is able to consistently deliver high standards of teaching and learning. The successful applicant will join a very committed, collaborative and highly successful team housed within its own Humanities Area.

What the school offers its staff

The history curriculum area is part of the Humanities Faculty. The Faculty consists of geography, history and religious education at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, with politics, psychology and sociology being offered at Key Stage 5.

The humanities are hugely popular with the school’s students and, as a result, the successful candidate may be asked to contribute to the teaching of another humanities subject at Key Stage 3. In return, the school offers a very personally and professionally supportive environment.

We strive for the best achievements for our students and believe that every young person deserves the chance to feel successful at school. Our school aims are summed up in our mission statement: Enabling aspiration and achievement for all, through delivery of a knowledge-rich curriculum underpinned by our CORE values: COURAGE OPTIMISM REGARD ENDEAVOUR This means that staff at Allestree Woodlands continue to review and improve our curriculum to ensure that knowledge acquisition is clear, coherent and that year on year learning builds on what has gone before so that students feel that they are moving forward and knowing more. As I have said to our students, this acquisition of knowledge gives power and confidence to believe in ourselves and put ourselves in new, unfamiliar, challenging and exciting situations in the future. We seek to equip all of our students to use their knowledge to plan for and achieve their next steps and to be aspirational for their futures. To do this, we must both support and challenge all young people to aspire, to dream of what might lie ahead and to work hard to make those ambitious goals possible. Why settle for less than our very best? When aspiration and hard work are combined, people achieve amazing things.
