What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a teacher who can teach in our Personal Development department, delivering lessons in Personal Development at KS3 and KS4, and ideally also contribute to the teaching of A level Sociology and/or Law.

We are very proud of our Personal Development department. Students have full timetabled lessons in both KS3 and KS4 for PD, in which they explore a curriculum designed by our staff that meets the needs and interests of our students, and which covers PSHE, Citizenship, Sociology and Religious Studies. Students enjoy their PD lessons, saying they are relevant to their lives, and that they give them a chance to discuss interesting issues and learn about the world they live in.

Our PD department offers a GCSE in Sociology, and A levels is Sociology and Law. Our ideal candidate will be able to teach some of these courses, working alongside our experienced GCSE and A level teachers in both subjects. These are popular subjects in KS4 and in our sixth form, attracting brilliant students with a passion for the subject, who achieve well.
