History is a highly valued subject at Sedgehill School and one that we are eager to further achieve in. History is currently offered at all Key Stages and we are expecting outcomes in history to show significant improvement at GCSE this year. At Key Stage 3 there have been wide ranging changes in the curriculum but there is still scope for further input in both the subject content and assessment to develop this key aspect of our students learning.

The work of the Senior Leadership team and our dedicated staff has led to rapid improvement in all aspects of the school over the past 12 months. We are looking for a candidate with vision, drive and enthusiasm to help us continue this journey of sustained improvement as the school develops over the coming months and years. Sedgehill School benefits from modern state of the art facilities as well as occupying a large pleasant site close to Beckenham Hill station.
If you have a strong desire to help students of all abilities to achieve the best they can, whilst fulfilling your own potential, then we would be very pleased to hear from you.
