Job overview
We are unashamedly aspirational in all that we do. Our students learn from the outset to aim high, in whatever they attempt. The core of this is inevitably our ambition for our students to do well academically, but if you visit you will also see evidence of high achievement in all fields, including the performing arts and sports as well as academic clubs and societies that aim to offer wider opportunities and challenges.
Our acclaimed Quality of Learning programme aims to develop independence, reflection, resilience, collaboration and creativity, and through these to equip our students with the qualities they will need to go on to succeed in whatever field they choose. There is also a strong sense of community, and through this, a commitment to supporting relationships that extend well beyond our school gates.
We are currently seeking a part-time teacher of Geography and History to teach largely KS3 or KS4/5 for a suitable candidate in one of the subjects. Geography and History are both very successful and popular departments with creative teachers generating exciting teaching and learning experiences for the students.

Founded in 1624 and still based on the original site, we are proud of our heritage as we approach our 400th birthday and excited to be inspiring and empowering the aspirations of our students today. Borlase is forward-looking; in 2019 we were awarded World Class School status from High Performance Learning for our innovative practice and received a government grant of over £2million to develop further our excellent facilities. We have a motivated staff of subject specialists who enjoy sharing their expertise with committed and engaged students.

Vision and Values
Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School is committed to being an inspirational learning environment for students and staff, empowering young people to fulfil their aspirations and ambitions; supporting them in developing the confidence to shape their own futures and in so doing, the future of the world around them.
Our values today are captured in the school motto, adopted by those early scholars back in 1624. Te Digna Sequere - Follow things Worthy - is a principle that underpins the distinctive ethos of the school. It reminds us all that we should have a clear moral purpose behind the choices we make; that we should value all individuals within a supportive community and that we have the potential to use our different talents to make a positive difference at Borlase and beyond.
The Borlase Curriculum provides a breadth and depth of academic learning and cultural experience to excite and extend all our students. It is rich in knowledge and in opportunities to develop creativity, instilling a life-long enthusiasm for learning. Our curriculum is delivered by passionate, specialist teachers who encourage aspiration, intellectual curiosity and the exploration of their subject disciplines inside and beyond the classroom, as independent thinkers and learners. It includes a broad range of super and extra-curricular opportunities which ignite and extend students' interests, enthusiasm and skills across a wide range of endeavours including those linked to academic subjects, to sports, the arts, engineering, AI, public speaking, creative writing, entrepreneurism and so much more.
