The successful candidate will have a strong academic background and be an excellent classroom practitioner who is capable of inspiring and motivating students. The successful applicant will have ultimate oversight of the Department and lead the Deputy Head of History.
All students study History at KS3 and we are very popular at both GCSE and A-Level. Our students make excellent progress, and we achieve consistently outstanding results. The department consists of 6 specialist teachers who strongly believe that learning about the past helps students understand the future. As a team, we are passionate about ensuring our students experience History through exemplary teaching and learning as well as extra-curricular activities such as clubs and trips to the theatre, visits to historical sites such as Berlin and the battlefields of France and Belgium plus A-Level conferences in London to extend our students’ understanding. Alongside History is our Politics department which is a popular option at KS5 and is taught by specialist staff who also achieve excellent outcomes for our students through excellent teaching and learning and inspiring the students with a passion for the ever- changing political world.
