Teacher of Humanities job summary
Required for September 2025 a well-qualified teacher of Humanities to join our friendly and supportive Humanities Faculty. The Humanities are taught as discrete subjects (Religious Studies, History and Geography) across the Key Stages and the precise nature of the successful applicant’s timetable will be dependent on their own experience and qualifications. They will be required to teach at least two of our three main subjects at Key Stage 3 and to a higher level in their own specialism. We are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative individual to join a committed team and help all our students to ‘achieve their potential and enjoy the journey’. The enrichment offered to Humanities pupils is extensive including local, national and international trips and visits as well as clubs and themed events in school. The collaborative work environment in the Humanities Faculty encourages continuous professional development and career progression for staff. We welcome applications from ECTs as well as from experienced teachers.
Visitors tell us that our school is a friendly, lively and stimulating community where we emphasise the importance of the individual’s contribution and take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. They commend the good behaviour of the pupils and their thirst for knowledge. Bishop’s is a diverse community that offers mutual support and encouragement and expects everyone within it to respect others’ heritage, cultures, religion and beliefs. We hope that the values, self-discipline and sense of personal worth that pupils gain here will be a support throughout their lives as British and Global Citizens. We welcome applications from candidates from racially minoritised backgrounds and from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system. We are a single sex school but we encourage any gender to apply for staff posts.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at a time of growth and development. Humanities subjects make a huge contribution to the life of the school and achieve results significantly above national expectations for both attainment and progress. We are looking for a candidate who will help to extend this work.
Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School is heavily oversubscribed and has around 950 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form. We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. The school completed its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2022 and was judged to continue to be Outstanding. However, we are not driven by Ofsted and our priorities lie in supporting our pupils to develop their knowledge, skills and character through the ‘Bishop’s 360’ model. The school has benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities. BHGS holds International School Status, the Music Mark and is a Fairtrade School. Hatfield is within easy reach of London and other areas and the London Fringe Allowance is payable.
The school's Admissions’ Code gives priority places to children of staff and we give high priority to staff development. Staff are able to apply for our Professional Development Award which provides bursary payments to help finance CPD that goes beyond the school’s usual training programme.
We take safeguarding of our students extremely seriously and an enhanced disclosure will be sought through the Disclosure and Barring Service as part of the school’s pre-employment checks.
