Teacher of History

Would you like to work in a small school in a big community? At Prendergast Vale School we believe all our pupils can achieve success in life by working hard and being kind.

We are seeking to appoint a motivated and inspirational Teacher of History from September 2024. This is an opportunity for a teacher to become part of a close knit and supportive Humanities Department. History, Geography and RE are taught as discreet subjects by subject specialists within the team.

The successful candidate will teach KS3 and KS4 History to all ability ranges. You will be responsible for planning and delivering high quality lessons and achieving excellent results for our students, instilling in them a love for the subject and a desire to learn.

Applications from ECTs are welcome as the school has a strong ECT training and support programme.  

Prendergast Vale School is a small all-through school providing high quality education from nursery to Year 11, which aims to transform the lives of all the children who attend the school. By keeping the school small, we have created a community of pupils and teachers where no pupil is left behind which has enabled us to create an environment in which pupils want to learn, achieve and behave well.
