An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a highly qualified, skilled and experienced practitioner to lead our vibrant and successful team of 14 history teachers through the next stage of its development.

History is a very popular subject in our school and is taught as a core subject at key stage 3 and a large number opt for it at GCSE. At GCSE, the AQA specification is offered and student outcomes are outstanding. In 2023, 41% of the cohort of 156 students achieved a grade 7-9. At A level, History is an equally popular choice and we currently have 134 students studying the OCR GCE A/AS specification. In 2023, 61 students sat the A level examination and achieved an average grade of A. Politics is also taught at A level and in 2023, the average grade was A-. There are 176 students currently studying the Edexcel GCE A/AS level Politics specification.

The successful applicant will be an outstanding teacher and leader with the ambition and vision to lead a large team of motivated and committed teachers who believe that there are no limits to what our students can achieve. We are looking to appoint a colleague with a strong and proven track record of delivering outstanding outcomes at GCSE/A level who is ready to take the next step in their career. As a middle leader, you will be a key member of our Teaching and Learning Group and play a key role in driving up standards across the school.

Brampton Manor Academy is a dynamic 11-18 school comprised of nearly 3,000 pupils that is proud of what it has achieved but is not complacent about the challenges that lie ahead; we are constantly seeking ways to further improve the quality of education on offer to the young people in our care, knowing the transformative impact it can have on their life chances.
