What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to appoint a Teacher of History (with the ability to teach RS to KS3) to join a lively, high performing and enthusiastic History Department at Cheltenham Bournside School, where History is a hugely popular subject. The successful candidate will be a key part of the team, who will teach History to highly motivated and talented pupils from Year 7 to 13, planning and preparing courses and lessons according to their educational needs and providing guidance and advice on their further education and future careers.

What the school offers its staff

Bournside is a large school with over 200 staff and over 1,800 students. That means we have the resources to provide a wealth of opportunities: a sports centre and 4G sports pitches; a fully equipped Drama studio, a large library, specialised English and Maths blocks, 12 science labs and specialist design, technology, computing and media rooms. Our highly successful sixth formers have their own large base with numerous study rooms.

No one gets lost in the crowd, however. Indeed, in their 2022 report, OFSTED commented on the “strong sense of community for both staff and pupils” and that “pupils are ready for learning and engage well with teachers and other adults.” Everyone is a member of one of our six houses; coupled with our vertical tutor group model, the house system aims to nurture and enhance that sense of family and community, strengthen home/school communication, and provide opportunities for older students to act as role models for younger students, enabling them to have meaningful conversations about school life and their future aspirations.


Commitment to safeguarding

We are an equal opportunities employer and value and respect diversity across our whole school community. Bournside is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check.
