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.

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.

At Allestree Woodlands, we pride ourselves on the warm and friendly atmosphere of the school. Relationships are important and we work to ensure that every student feels safe and happy. 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.
We are lucky to be a thriving school with a growing intake, a wide level 3 subject offer at post-16, superb extra-curricular opportunities in sports, technology and the creative and performing arts as well as possessing tremendous facilities. If you would like to know more, take a look at our website or arrange a visit. We have open evenings planned for this half-term for prospective students and their parents and you are most welcome to come along and get a feel for what Allestree Woodlands is all about.
