Teacher of History - Maternity Cover, Senior School

Rugby School Thailand (RST), a co-educational day and boarding international School set in 80 acres of glorious Thai countryside south of Bangkok, very successfully opened its doors in September 2017 for 110 pupils aged 2 – 10 years. The School has grown to nearly 1,000 pupils up to Year 13, including boarders.

The structure, School day and ethos of RST is based upon the British Independent School model, rather than the standard international school model. As such, the School has three sections: Pre-Prep (2-6 year olds), Prep (7 – 12 year olds) and Senior (13 – 18 year olds).

Rugby School Thailand is the first overseas sister school of Rugby School UK, one of the most prestigious and well-known schools in the UK. Rugby School Thailand shares Rugby School UK’s DNA in every important respect. It is unique.

The History Department

The History Department comprises 2 full time members of teaching staff and is housed in the Senior Teaching building. Currently each member of staff benefits from a fixed, unshared, teaching room. Each room is fitted with Promeathean Interactive Whiteboards. The school provides a laptop computer for teaching staff and operates a BYOD policy for students.

In years 9, 10 and 11, students receive 3 periods of History per fortnight. All A Level subjects have one period per day. A period is 70 minutes in length.

All members of the History Department teach across the age range, with teachers enjoying working both with those who have a deep interest in History who may go on to read the subject at university, as well as with students whose primary interest may lie elsewhere but who nevertheless strive for the top grade in History. This is an important facet of the Department as it promotes a collegial environment and allows for the cross-fertilisation of ideas.
