Job overview
A talented and inspirational full-time teacher is required to join the Economics and Business Studies Department September 2023 (or earlier if possible). They will be able to communicate their enjoyment of the subject with students by employing a range of teaching strategies as an outstanding classroom practitioner; strategies which provide for challenge, motivation and high student expectations. Whilst the role will be focused on teaching Business, there may be some scope to teach some Economics if the successful candidate would prefer.
The Economics and Business department currently comprises four teachers, and is housed in spacious and well-equipped accommodation containing three classrooms, departmental library and office.
The AQA specifications are followed for both A-Level Business and A-Level Economics. Demand for both subjects is increasingly strong with approximately seventy boys in each year group opting to do these two subjects. The department prides itself on the fact that Business and Economics related degrees are the number one destination for Warwick School students, alongside a growing number of higher-level apprenticeships. Results are consistently good and there are ambitious plans for the department in the future under a recently appointed Head of Department. The department offers a number of extracurricular activities, including personal finance to year 9, share dealing competitions and a variety of domestic and international trips. However, Young Enterprise is the most successful and popular extracurricular activity, and it is hoped that the successful candidate will be involved with this scheme going forward.

About Warwick School
The oldest boys' school in England, Warwick School has been in continuous existence at least from the days of King Edward the Confessor (reigned 1042-1066) when the fledgling town possessed a school under the tutelage of All Saints' Church. The earliest appearance of Warwick Town in history is in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle under the year 914, and this has long been taken as the date of the foundation of Warwick School.
Very little documentary evidence exists before 1545, when King Henry VIII established, i.e. presumably re-founded, the "King's New School of Warwick." The premises were then in the Guild Hall which then became part of the Lord Leycester Hospital.
Between 1697 and 1879 the school was run in the old college of the Vicars Choral in St Mary's churchyard, and was predominantly a day school. The education, typically for the time, emphasised the classics above all.
The move to the open fields site south of the River Avon eventually brought about a steady rise in numbers – in 1878 there were 44 boys in the school, and by 1906, 110. In that year a merger with the Middle School in Warwick esulted in the modern name of Warwick School being adopted, rather than The King’s School.
Numbers in the 1930s reached 350, with 18 staff and a sixth form of about 40.
By the 1960s there were over 750 pupils and 45 staff. This expansion in numbers, together with a broadening of the curriculum, produced a continuous demand for new buildings. The original Science Block of 1905 survives in its third guise as the modern music department. More modern buildings included the Memorial Gymnasium, 1957, the Guy Nelson Hall and Languages Block of the early 1970s.
Over the past 25 years significant investment has been spent on improving the facilities and accommodating an ever increasing school roll. A new sports pavilion, theatre, a state of the art science building and teaching block have provided new and spacious accommodation and a new school hall is nearing completion.
In 2014 the school celebrated its 1100th anniversary, which provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the history and success of the school with all of its dedicated staff and governors, pupils and parents, as well as strengthening our links with the wider community.
The reputation of Warwick School in the local area and beyond has led to the recruitment of excellent staff and pupils and this in turn has resulted in record exam results, outstanding achievements in music, drama and sport and an ever growing programme of extra-curricular activities. The school prides itself on its strong sense of identity and its ability to provide an outstanding all-round education to a wide mix of boys.
