The department currently consists of 3 full time members of staff and the successful candidate will move into the fourth of these new build classrooms. You will work in a highly supportive and collaborative department. History is a popular and successful subject amongst students with high uptake at Key Stage 4. Our GCSE progress figures are consistently amongst the strongest subjects in this high achieving school. We pride ourselves on delivering a broad and engaging curriculum with disciplinary knowledge at its heart. With 4 hours of history per fortnight in KS3 and 5 hours in KS4, students are able to cover a wide range of enquiry-based units that are fully resourced in booklet format.

Students study sustainability and the challenges facing the world today and in the future. At both KS3 and KS4 we aim to ensure our students can make links between all aspects of the world around us and think like a geographer, enabling them to have the best college and career prospects when they leave us at the end of Year 11.
RS

Within the RS department, we are proud of our ability to challenge misconceptions and broaden student's attitudes and inspire empathy. Whilst equipping our young people with these necessary life skills, the study of RS at The County High School, Leftwich recognises that RS is a literacy-based subject, with high expectations. Therefore, as a department we aim to develop these skills across the key stages, thus ensuring the best learning experiences for our students.
