Job overview
Teacher of History
MPR
To commence – 1 January 2019
The Teacher of History will play a particularly vital role working with the Head of History in shaping and developing the History curriculum across the school in order to engage and motivate all pupils and improve overall outcomes in this area. The EBacc faculty incorporates the subject disciplines of: History, Geography and MFL and it is envisaged that successful team working will create a renewed sense of dynamism and creativity in the faculty. Historically the school has established a good track record in History (up to and including GCSE) but we now want to continue to develop our curriculum offer across KS3 and KS4 and achieve even more positive outcomes for pupils.
The post provides a great opportunity for a talented teacher of History to advance their own career and professional development, and to join a forward-looking school at an exciting time in its development.
Anyone interested in applying for the post is strongly encouraged to come to Tibshelf Community School to have a look round and informally meet staff and pupils. Please contact Mrs Bev Wright, HR Manager on ext. 631 or email b.wright@tibshelf.derbyshire.sch.uk to arrange a visit.
We hope that what we are aspiring to do here will enthuse and excite you too.
We look forward to meeting you.

About Tibshelf Community School
Tibshelf Community School is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational, community secondary school without sixth form situated in Alfreton, Derbyshire, who opened on a brand new £17m purpose built site in November 2013.
We were inspected by Ofsted (September 2021) and were judged to be a ‘Good’ school in all categories.
We are a popular, over-subscribed, 820 strong 11-16 school serving a rural area of North East Derbyshire. We draw students from a geographically dispersed catchment area of nine villages. The official PAN is 150 students per year group but numbers are well above this in all year groups. The proportion of students from minority ethnic groups is very low and significantly below national averages. 30% of the intake are ‘disadvantaged’ and are supported through Pupil Premium funding; 43 pupils have an EHC Plan, including a number of pupils with ASD. The school’s deprivation index is very close to the national average, but it is in the top third within Derbyshire LA and contains a number of wards with extremely high levels of deprivation. Prior attainment data suggests that students are close to national average.
