About the department
The History Department at St Marylebone is a dynamic, successful and friendly department of six teachers. We place great emphasis on mutual support which includes sharing brilliant centralised resources and thoughtful mentoring, as well as more informal everyday conversations and socialising. This means that everyone feels valued, part of a genuine team, and is able to take advantage of development opportunities.
We are unapologetically passionate about history. The department is engaged in a period of exciting curricular thinking and planning, placing historical scholarship at the centre of a richly diverse, coherent and rigorous global curriculum. We are proud of what we have achieved, but are looking forward to the next steps in our journey. We are working collaboratively, utilising the work of historians and the wider history teaching community to broaden and enrich our students’ horizons. We are serious about subject-specific CPD, with members of our department always attending HA and SHP conferences or study visits abroad with the Holocaust Educational Trust. We have very high uptake at both GCSE and A Level, and achieve excellent results in all key stages.
We believe in the value of enrichment, including a well-attended and student-led History Society, as well as numerous talks from historians, and a diverse seminar series for 6th form students. We also know the value of engaging students with the historical environment, running trips within London and annual trips to Berlin and to Italy (with other Humanities subjects).
The Politics Department is formed of three teachers from the History team. We are a high-achieving and popular A Level subject, teaching the Pearson Edexcel course, with Global Politics for Paper 3. We value subject expertise and enthusiasm for bringing recent political developments into the classroom. The team is also responsible for teaching a Politics and Citizenship course to all Year 8 students. We have a vibrant enrichment offer, including a weekly student newspaper and a popular Politics Society, run by our sixth form ambassadors. In recent years, we have welcomed a range of outside speakers to the school including civil servants, representatives from pressure groups, a Member of Parliament, and the Mayor of Westminster.
We are proud of the history and politics education that we offer our students and are looking for a candidate to add to our exciting team.
