Job overview
This is a superb opportunity for someone with flair, enthusiasm and a commitment to lead the teaching of History throughout the school and the teaching of Government & Politics at A Level.

Applications for the role of Head of History without an offering of Government & Politics will also be given due consideration.
The successful candidate will join a team of innovative and highly motivated teachers who constantly strive to provide the finest education and ever-expanding opportunities to get the very best out of our pupils, while fostering a love of learning through delivery of high-quality, exciting and active lessons. Both History and Government & Politics are popular subjects at Radnor House and the department is justifiably proud of its excellent results at GCSE and A Level.
