What skills and experience we're looking for

St John’s is seeking to appoint an inspirational and dedicated full-time Teacher of Politics & History. The successful candidate will join one of the school’s most effective and respected departments, working and collaborating with an exceptionally committed and talented team of practitioners.

The school offers Politics A Level, a subject which is very much in high demand, alongside a traditional History curriculum across Key Stages 3-5. Our students very much enjoy these courses and the resulting outcomes they achieve are exceptional.

The History department’s results at KS4 are consistently excellent and have been a major contributing factor to the exceptional whole school outcomes achieved in recent years, whilst both Politics & History results at A Level are always extremely positive.

This is an excellent and exciting time to join our school and to be part of an enthusiastic, forward-thinking and supportive team. Applications are invited from enthusiastic and passionate Politics specialists (who also have an interest in teaching History) for this opportunity to teach in our thriving Catholic community. We are looking for a committed and talented member of staff who can demonstrate equal passion for the subject and working with young students.


What the school offers its staff

St John’s is a very successful co-ed Catholic school with over 1300 pupils including over 300 students in our Sixth Form. We have a very strong Catholic ethos and pride ourselves in being a warm and welcoming community, something that was externally recognised in our most recent Section 48 Inspection of January 2020, where we achieved ‘Outstanding Catholic School’ status. The school’s 2023 Progress 8 score of +0.33 was the sixth consecutive examination year where the school achieved a positive score on this key performance measure and a wonderful reflection of the talented and dedicated students and staff we have at the school. We are also projected to receive a positive Progress 8 score for 2024 (Progress 8 outcomes will be released by the government later this month).

Commitment to safeguarding

St John's is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to satisfactory references, Enhanced DBS check and an online social media profile check. This role includes specific safeguarding responsibilities, as defined in the job description. Our school’s dedicated Child Protection Policy can be viewed on our school website.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020.
