Teacher of Social Science (Psychology and Sociology)

The Royal School is seeking an innovative Teacher to join the Social Science team from September 2018 in this heavily oversubscribed day and boarding free school. Sociology and Psychology attract significant numbers of pupils at A level, the aptitude to teach a wide range of abilities from ages 14-18 is therefore essential. The ability and enthusiasm to teach across the social sciences disciplines with a flair and passion for the subject is crucial as well as flexibility within the humanities faculty.

Are you the person to stretch, challenge and inspire our students in and outside of the classroom?

The Social Science Department strives for the highest standards of learning and teaching. The department has a suite of dedicated rooms, which have recently been refurbished as a result of our new free school status. Many of our students choose A-level sociology and/or psychology and numbers are above average with two sets in year 12 and 13 of Psychology. 

The Royal School is at an exciting time of development. The new free school is an all-through (Reception to Y13) ‘independent’ school without day fees whilst still providing excellent boarding at affordable fees. Alongside the growth in pupil numbers, there will be an expansion in the curriculum, enrichment activities and improved facilities, enabling us to extend and enhance still further the range of opportunities for all our young people. 

The Royal School has achieved excellent academic results throughout its history and has an outstanding reputation for nurturing and developing confident, well-disciplined and successful individuals who progress successfully to the next stage of their life and career. We relish this next phase in its existence which enables us to review and build on our current success in preparing our young people for a rapidly evolving world. We hope that you will share in this passion for a broader educational opportunity.
