Job overview

TEACHER OF HISTORY

We are looking for a Teacher of History to join our school from September 2024. Whether you are an ECT or an experienced practitioner, if you are passionate about teaching History and driven to help young people reach their full potential, we want to hear from you.

We are looking to recruit a teacher who can play an active role in helping to foster a love of History in all our students. We are committed to providing an environment where students love to learn, and we are looking for someone who wants to contribute to designing an engaging and exciting History curriculum.

Here at TPS we are committed to providing an environment where both staff and students can grow, where we strive for innovation and provide many opportunities for professional development. If you are an ECT, we have an extensive professional development programme designed around helping you grow as a practitioner. If you are a more experienced colleague, we provide a new staff induction programme as well as a wide range of opportunities for you to develop both in and outside of the classroom.

Your role within the department would be to become an integral part of our close-knit team, and we strongly believe in working collaboratively and supporting each other.  We look to appoint someone who is passionate about History and cares about providing an excellent education for our students. New ideas are always welcome and valued, creativity and the willingness to take risks with new teaching strategies are a must.

The ability to evolve to new challenges and openness to constructive feedback and advice are essential. We would also be looking to appoint someone who is willing to teach History, Geography and RPE at KS3. Most of all, we are looking for someone who embraces new experiences and understands the impact of a Humanities lesson as much as we do.

TPS is a heavily over-subscribed, mixed, academy in the desirable market town of Petersfield. It is a rewarding place to work, with delightful students and staff and an ethos of exceptional student outcomes and an unrivalled student experience. Ofsted has found TPS to be Outstanding in all four categories.

The Petersfield School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to DBS checks along with other relevant employment checks.

If you are interested in this post and would like to visit the department, please contact Kat Snow ksnow@petersfieldschool.com to arrange a suitable time.

Deadline for applications is midday on Monday 20 May; interviews taking place later the same week.

The Petersfield School (TPS) is a happy, thriving 11-16 mixed Academy with a commitment to securing exceptional student outcomes and an unrivalled student experience.  Standards, stability and success characterise our successful Academy where over 1300 students thrive in an environment where behaviour is outstanding, relationships are excellent and opportunities are plentiful.

The school joined the highly successful Bohunt Education Trust (BET) Multi Academy Trust in September 2016.  Our BET partner schools are located primarily in Hampshire and we are a community of education professionals whose approach is one which combines the highest expectations with a sensitivity to learners’ individual needs; concentrates on maintaining the very best standards of learning and teaching and takes every opportunity to recognise and reward achievement.  Our ethos is encapsulated by three simple words: enjoy, respect and achieve. (www.bohunttrust.co.uk)

Examination results at TPS are high – consistently well above national averages – and we focus on the individual success of every child.  Our recent student intakes are above the national average and bursting with potential.  

Perhaps belying its rather comfortable setting in a peaceful Hampshire market town, TPS is a dynamic, innovative and ambitious school – well known for its developments in curriculum provision, professional development, leadership and student voice.

We have 140 Teachers and Associate Staff who combine effectively as a cheerful, supportive team.  New staff are made to feel very welcome.  Behaviour has been consistently judged to be outstanding by Ofsted and TPS is a school where you can really teach without distraction.  Staff training and new staff induction has been highly commended, with our model adopted by several other local schools.  We have an excellent reputation for the quality of our professional development including for Newly Qualified Teachers.

We currently operate a two year Key Stage 3 (Year 7/8) and a three year Key Stage 4 (Years 9-11).  At age 16 many students move on to our joint Sixth Form provision in Liphook and there are opportunities for staff to teach A-Level there.  Every year, ex-students gain admission to the most competitive Universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.

Our site is a lovely green campus with dedicated blocks for each subject and we have several state of the art areas including TheStudio@TPS and our floodlit 4G Astroturf pitch.

The school offers students a wide range of extra activities, which staff are happy to organise and attend.  This includes Sport, our specialism of Performing Arts and the Duke of Edinburgh Award where we are the largest centre in Hampshire.  New staff will be expected to make their own contribution to this programme.

Access to Petersfield is swift via the A3(M) or via Petersfield train station which is a short walk away, making it entirely possible to commute comfortably from Surrey in the north or from all points South.

If you would like to join an ambitious, exciting school where teaching is still a joy, we’d like to hear from you.
