Teacher of History job summary
Our current vacancy is for a teacher of history. Applications are welcome from NQTs and more experienced teachers.
The history department consists of a Head of Department, a Key Stage 3 Co-ordinator and five other members of staff.
History is taught to mixed-ability form groups in Years 7 to 9, and in mixed ability option groups in Years 10 and 11. For 2018-2019 there will be seven groups in Year 10 and six groups in Year 11.
Our Year 10 and Year 11 groups will be following the new Edexcel GCSE (9-1) with units covering Elizabethan England, Medicine Through Time, American West and Weimar and Nazi Germany. Last year over 88% of our students achieved 9-4 grades.
We deliver three A-level courses to an increasing number of students. In Year 12, we will teach three History groups, three sociology groups and one government & politics group. In Year 13 we will teach three History groups.
Our Year 12 and 13 are studying the AQA History A level modules The Making of a Superpower, USA 1865-1975 and Religious Conflict and the Church in England, c1529-c1570.
We have a departmental office and eight classrooms, all of which are equipped with computers and projectors.
The department is particularly committed to fieldwork. We are running a residential trip to Ypres for our GCSE students. Every two years we organise a visit to Washington aimed at History and Politics students in Years 12 and 13.
We currently hold regular meetings during school time and usually organise social events at least once a term.
Why Work For Us?
St Bede's is a good place to work. Staff are friendly and supportive of one another: relationships between staff and pupils were recognised by Ofsted as 'exceptionally strong'.
NQTs benefit from a well developed and comprehensive induction period programme. More experienced teachers are given the opportunity to participate in training which will help them to develop skills needed for middle and senior management roles.
There are good on-site catering facilities. Staff are able to use the fitness facilities free of charge and to participate in sports activities.
Music is a big part of school life and staff are welcome to join our senior choir and instrumental groups.
We have a social event at the end of each term as well as occasional staff trips to the theatre.
The school is situated in Redhill, a commuter belt town in the Surrey Fringe area. We are close to the M25 and there are good transport links to London and the South Coast from Redhill station which is about 15 minutes walk from the school. We also benefit from being within walking distance of beautiful countryside . Many staff live locally, others commute from Guildford, South London, Kent and East & West Sussex.
We welcome visits prior to application (but appreciate that it is not possible for everyone to do so).
Commitment to safeguarding
Our school is committed to the safeguarding of children so all appointments are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check. Only applications made on our School Application Form will be considered; we do not accept CVs or unsolicited testimonials. It is our policy always to request references prior to interview.
