“The Radcliffe School is a Good School” – Ofsted, 2020

We are looking to welcome a dedicated and engaging Lead Practitioner to our Humanities department from Easter 2025 or sooner, as we work to achieve and surpass the objectives outlined in our vision: supporting learners as they seek to develop an empowering knowledge of Humanities. We are particularly keen to hear from a Geography specialist with a track record of delivering an engaging and inspiring Geography curriculum to students across the age and ability range.

The successful candidate will also have access to a full range of courses both in-house and professionally accredited, including all of the National Professional Qualifications eg NPQLTD.

Coaching and mentoring of staff within the department is a key priority. As such, the successful candidate will be able to work with teachers to promote high-quality teaching and learning, and to ensure that teachers are supported in their implementation of the school’s behaviour policy. Promoting and monitoring student progress, through these and other means, is essential for the role.

The successful candidate will be supportive and keen to assist in leading a team of colleagues who value and welcome new ideas; regularly evaluate team successes and challenge each other to continue improving. They will crucially provide a friendly and supportive presence for a diverse cohort of students who are keen to learn and to be shown the importance of Humanities.

This position would suit an experienced teacher. Experience in departmental leadership is preferable, though not necessarily required. We have an extensive record of providing excellent mentoring and support to new staff.

We are an iPad school with all staff and students receiving an iPad (along with regular CPD on how to use it) to support teaching and learning.

We can offer onsite accommodation for new staff in one of our two houses. Each house is semi-detached with three bedrooms and a large garden. Please enquire for more information.

This is a unique opportunity to take on an exciting role in a forward-thinking school and to work with committed and collaborative staff. The ideal candidate will be passionate about teaching and learning and will have the ability to motivate students. They will be happy to work in support of a large and friendly team.

Work with a Department that is passionate about achievement for all pupils.
