Highbury Fields School is a community in which everyone enjoys academic and social success. We are a flourishing, high performing 11-18 girls state school, which was graded Outstanding in October 2016. We are also one of the top schools in the country in terms of student progress.
The school is looking to appoint an experienced humanities teacher, who may be able to lead on the development and implementation of statutory PSHE and RE provision.
The school has a well-established PSHE programme and is committed to high quality and progressive work in this area. A key responsibility will be continuing the implementation of revised guidance on Relationships and Sex Education and Personal, Social Health and Economic Education.
Religious Education is also well developed in years 7-9 and is an increasingly popular subject at GCSE in years 10 and 11. The school is reviewing this to best meet local SACRE guidelines in years 10-11 and the appointed person will be responsible for learning this area of school development.
‘As a school in which everyone is recognised as an individual, Highbury Fields inspires students to be highly aspirational and have very positive attitudes to their education.’
