We are excited to announce we are looking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic Teacher of History for September 2016.
Huxlow Science College is located in semi-rural Northamptonshire and has exceptional road and rail links. The College is a very warm and friendly school with a fantastic student body and dedicated and talented staff. You will join us at an exciting time as we continue our journey to become an outstanding academy.
Our vision for the school is to deliver outstanding education to our students, not only in terms of academic success, but by ensuring we develop the “whole child” so that our students leave us equipped to succeed in the ever changing world.
History at Huxlow is a popular subject with a significant number of students opting to study GCSE. This is an exciting time to be joining the History team as we move to a three year KS4 to support the creative delivery of the new GCSE.
We recognise that to realise our vision we need to attract, develop and reward our people. We are an ‘Investor in People’, and are committed to the professional development and career progression of our employees. We welcome applications from NQT’s and experienced teachers. Many of our new staff have rapidly developed into good and outstanding teachers and have often gained promotion within our school.
The successful candidate will:
- Improve as a teacher through our tailored professional development programme (we run weekly training sessions that all staff have access to in addition to bespoke individual development)
- Have the opportunity to develop as a leader once settled in post
- Have opportunities for promotion (in a relatively small College new opportunities for leadership and personal development frequently arise)
- Be supported by a performance management system that rewards excellence
- Have access to national ground-breaking History CPD via PiXL
- If an NQT, you will have fantastic peer support from established colleagues with long-standing teaching experience and a passion for their subject
The essential qualities for the Teacher of History include:
- A qualified and effective classroom practitioner with an experience of teaching KS3 & KS4
- A commitment to, and a passion for, the teaching of History
- A commitment to developing their own pedagogy and that of others
- A commitment to meeting all the requirements for safeguarding children
- Effective organisation and communication skills

About Huxlow Academy
We are incredibly proud of our school, a medium sized Secondary Academy (11-18), located in Irthlingborough, East Northamptonshire. As a fully inclusive school our students are a vibrant and varied mix that bring an energy that is not found in many other schools. The loyalty the students show for the staff and community, whom they recognise care so deeply about them, is what makes Huxlow a very rewarding and fun place to work. If you want to work with a team committed to making a difference to the lives of the young people in our community, we want to hear from you!
I believe that every student and staff member that walks through the doors of Huxlow is a valuable member of our community, and we work hard to ensure they are welcomed, supported and challenged to be the best version of themselves that they can be.
We are entering an exciting new phase in the history of Huxlow and are placing a pursuit of excellence at the core of everything we do. I hope that you feel inspired to aim high and come and join us as we strive to make Huxlow even better.
Academic success is hugely important to us as we recognise its power to open doors for young people. We have a rich history of students of all abilities, and from a wide variety of backgrounds, meeting and exceeding their potential.
In 2019, Year 11 students achieved some of the best GCSE results in the school’s history. 53% of students gained 5 GCSE’s including English and Maths at Grade 4 and above. Recent CAGs and TAGs have returned record progress data for the school for KS4 and KS5. We were delighted by these excellent results, which reflect the high level of dedication of both our students and staff. As the new Headteacher, I am committed to improving the school even further for our students.
We place an emphasis on respect for each other and working together to ensure that our community is constantly developing. Huxlow students are exceptional, staff go the extra mile, and we are dedicated to Professional Learning and Development.
Please explore our website, the recent Headteacher’s letters section and our social media, to gain a flavour of what it means to be part of the Huxlow Academy community. We hope you are as impressed by our school as we are. I look forward to receiving your application should you decide you want to be a part of the Huxlow team.
