Job overview

The Portsmouth Grammar School is a leading co-educational school located in the historic heart of Portsmouth.  The school is an IB World School and offers the IB Diploma alongside A Level. 

Applications are invited for this full-time post, to start from September 2018.  We are seeking to appoint an excellent classroom teacher with a real love of History who is able to transfer that interest easily and naturally to our pupils across all year groups from Year 7 to Year 13.  

The successful candidate will exude enthusiasm, energy and excellent subject knowledge, to meet the needs of all learners. There is no requirement for a particular historical period specialisation for Sixth Form level, but an interest in and past experience of successfully teaching IB History would be advantageous, though by no means a requirement for this post.

Applications are invited from all those who meet the above criteria, whether they are newly qualified, or more experienced teachers or have yet to commence teacher training. The school offers excellent training and support to teachers at all stages of their career.   

The school may be able to offer subsidised rental accommodation in Old Portsmouth, for up to one academic year. Please state in your application if this is of interest to you.

The closing date for applications is 15 January 18 and interviews are scheduled for 26 January 18.

PGS is committed to safeguarding children and the successful applicant will be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure DBS check.

Founded in 1732, The Portsmouth Grammar School (PGS) is a co-educational independent day school for pupils aged 2½ - 18 years, located in the heart of Portsmouth, a city renowned for its rich maritime history, world-class attractions and vibrant waterfront. We are a thriving school situated within walking distance of the coast and comprise a Pre-School, Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form.

Our shared purpose is to be recognised nationally for our curriculum design and as a thriving and diverse community centred around core values (curiosity, creativity, courage, commitment, compassion and collaboration) and educational excellence. We work to consistently prepare young people for a global world in a welcoming, forward-looking, ambitious, dynamic and sustainable School built on firm and historic foundations.

ISI Report 2022

During an ISI Inspection in late 2022 both the achievement of the pupils, including their academic development and the personal development of the pupils were found to be excellent - the highest possible classification. The Inspection also looked at the School’s compliance with the regulatory standards and requirements. PGS met all the standards required.
