William Edwards is a very popular, oversubscribed 11-16 school, judged ‘outstanding’ by OfSTED.

Pupil outcomes across the school are significantly above the national average.
We are seeking to recruit a teacher to join our highly committed and innovative History team. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a commitment to improving student outcomes across the age and ability range and be highly motivated and committed to the very highest standards. Applications are welcome from people at any stage of their career (including NQTs) and a relocation allowance and 6 months free accommodation are available to the right candidate.
The History Department is well resourced and has seen significant recent investment. Every classroom has been refurbished and all have double projection, writable walls, integrated sound systems, apple TV and new furniture. One of the classrooms doubles as a 60 seat cinema. Staff all have iPads and laptops to maximise the use of technology in the classroom.
The school offers a comprehensive induction programme for all new staff and a strong commitment to continuing staff development and training through our Teaching School. If you have energy and passion in abundance and would relish the opportunity to join our History team, we look forward to hearing from you. We would welcome pre-application visits.
William Edwards School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

About William Edwards School
SWECET is a growing, cross phase Multi Academy Trust, established in 2015 to serve the needs of its communities. SWECET currently has three ‘Good’ primary schools, one ‘Outstanding’ secondary and one ‘RI’ Secondary that joined the Trust in April 2017. The Trust believes that schools should be unique and individual institutions with distinct character and that through effective partnership we can challenge, support and learn from each other in order to raise standards and provide exceptional opportunities for all our young people. It is an exciting time to be joining SWECET with all schools continually striving to be better. Considered, purposeful growth plans are in place that will be to the benefit of all stakeholders.
