Teacher of History with KS3 PRE job summary
An exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic specialist to join our vibrant Humanities Faculty to teach both History and PRE. The faculty is highly successful and includes the subjects of History, Politics, Philosophy, Religion & Ethics (PRE) and PSHE. Although part of a faculty, we are committed to timetabling staff to teach within their specialism(s) so our students benefit from subject experts.
As well as impressive outcomes at GCSE, History and PRE are both popular and successful at A Level, with ten Sixth Form classes across the faculty planned for September 2025. The department organises an extensive range of subject-related trips.
You must have a passion for your subject and the skills to engage students across the age and ability range. The role is offered as a one-year contract and we welcome applications from experienced and Early Career Teachers (ECTs). Due to the continuing development of the faculty, there may be opportunities for future permanent employment.
Ofsted (2024) commented that (pupils) “are active participants in their learning and consistently demonstrate high levels of focus … teachers are experts in the subjects they teach … pupils’ conduct and manners are exemplary … any disruption to learning is incredibly rare… staff are extremely positive about the support that they receive from leaders…particularly around their professional development and well-being”. The inspection included a deep dive into several subjects including Mathematics.

July 1st start date for ECTs with a comprehensive programme to support the Early Career Framework and bespoke CPD to suit your career goals.

A high-quality and well-resourced teaching environment with highly talented and engaged students.
An admission policy prioritising the children of staff (a qualifying period may apply).
