Job overview
PGCE SOCIOLOGY
We are offering an opportunity for a PGCE position within our Sociology Department for September 2017.
You would join our supportive and dedicated Sociology Department which consists of 2 full-time colleagues.
We thrive on teamwork and a commitment both to our subject and to the students in our care. The department is well-resourced and makes use of multi-media techniques. The teaching of the subject is very much an active and interactive experience. Topics currently taught include: Theory and Methods; Families and Households; Education; Crime and Deviance; and Beliefs. Sociology is a popular subject in the sixth form.
There are currently two sets for Sociology in Years 12 and 13. A significant number of students choose to base their EPQ on topics related to their Sociology course and many more go on to study Sociology, Psychology or Criminology at university.
It is expected that all members of the teaching staff will be able to contribute fully to the life of the School through participation in the pastoral and extra-curricular activities programmes, which are an integral part of a teacher’s role in an independent school community.
We offer an annual salary of £10,000 and a year’s free single accommodation.

Values and Vision
Although nominally a co-educational school, Berkhamsted runs as a Diamond School, meaning that pupils are taught in co-educational classes at a young age, then moved into single-sex streaming in senior school, before being re-integrated in sixth form. This is intended to give pupils both the academic benefits of a single-sex education, and the social benefits of co-education. Being founded in the Christian tradition, the school works hard to foster the spiritual and moral development of its pupils, and inspire a sense of community and acceptance.
ISI Inspection
“Pupils are very well educated, in line with the school’s aims. The quality of their achievements is good overall. They make good progress throughout the school and gain excellent results at A level in relation to their abilities because of their positive attitudes to study, dedicated and, on occasions, inspiring teaching, and curricular provision adapted to meet each pupil’s needs.”
