We require a committed and enthusiastic part time teacher with very good subject knowledge and a clear understanding of effective and engaging teaching and learning to join our highly successful department. The successful candidate will be expected to teach across the full range of age and ability. The teacher we appoint will have access to high quality professional development opportunities.

The History and Politics department is a positive and supportive environment that employs a range of dynamic teaching styles and is committed to innovative curriculum development.

Again, results are well above the national average at Key Stage 5. Many of our students go on to read History at university and we often have a number of successful Oxbridge candidates.
