Congleton Multi-Academy Trust is seeking to appoint an inspirational and well-qualified History teacher with strong subject knowledge to join our experienced teacher. In summer 2018, Congleton High School achieved the highest Progress 8 score in Cheshire and has an impressive track record of high achievement.
