History Teacher

We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented teacher of History who is either on MPS or an NQT teacher looking for a new challenge. The department is very successful and a large number of student opt for GCSE History each year – three sets is the norm. Currently at A Level the department runs History; Politics and Sociology: we are also keen to expand to offer Philosophy or Religious Studies at A Level. There is therefore plenty of scope for candidates to develop their A Level teaching.

The department runs a significant number of trips and visits to help bring, History and Politics to life. This includes visits to the Battlefields, numerous Castle and Museum Trips, the annual Parliament Trip and a variety of trips to the Politics Department at Hull to attend lectures by notable political figures. 

Although selective and academic in our focus the School’s ethos is centred on the development of the whole child. We are exceptionally fortunate that our committed staff give of their time generously in numerous different ways to share or pursue a passion with our pupils. We have a flourishing debating society; creative writing groups; music; drama and sport are all strong. We are also unusual for a state school in having a large and active CCF who also help to run our Duke of Edinburgh programme. The desire to share a passion or simply get involved in the extra-curricular life of the school will be crucial.
