Job Description

We’re working with a welcoming secondary school that believes education goes far beyond the classroom. Yes, academic outcomes matter, but so does helping young people grow into confident, thoughtful individuals who understand their place in the world.

You’ll be stepping into a maternity cover role from May, teaching History across KS3 and KS4 in a school that genuinely values curiosity, character, and community.

What makes this school special?

This isn’t a tick-box environment. The whole school is built around three simple but powerful values: Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.

You’ll see it in the way students treat each other, in how staff support one another, and in the way challenges are handled, calmly, thoughtfully, and with a focus on growth.

The curriculum is broad and engaging, giving students the chance to explore big ideas, question the world around them, and develop a real love for learning. History plays a big role in that, helping students understand society, identity, and the events that shape modern Britain.

There’s also a strong focus on personal development. Topics like democracy, the rule of law, and individual liberty aren’t just buzzwords here, they’re taught, discussed, and lived through the school culture.

The role

You’ll be:

Teaching History across KS3 and KS4
Bringing the subject to life with engaging, thought-provoking lessons
Encouraging students to think critically about the past and its impact today
Supporting a culture where curiosity is welcomed and questions are encouraged
Playing a part in a wider school community that values character as much as achievement

What we’re looking for

UK QTS or equivalent
Experience teaching History at secondary level
Someone who can step in confidently and build strong relationships quickly
A teacher who cares about the bigger picture, not just exam results
Positive, adaptable, and ready to make an impact from day one

Why this role?

If you’re looking for a school where you’re trusted to teach, supported to grow, and part of something that actually feels meaningful, this could be a great fit.

It’s the kind of place where students are encouraged to aim high, staff are valued, and education really does open doors.
