The posting

Know your causation from your correlation? Your primary sources from your propaganda? Your urbanisation from your industrialisation?

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding, passionate teacher of History and Humanities who can inspire our pupils by delivering engaging, high-quality lessons. If you’re an experienced teacher ready for a new challenge, we’ve got something special for you.

History will be at the heart of your teaching. We want someone who can bring the past to life while also helping pupils develop the skills of a historian: questioning evidence, considering different interpretations, making connections and constructing well-reasoned arguments.

You’ll teach across KS3 and KS4, helping pupils explore everything from individuals and events to the bigger themes of power, conflict, migration, belief and social change.

But we’re a small school, and we want to be upfront about what that means. Your timetable may not sit neatly within the boundaries of one subject. Depending on the needs of the timetable and your own experience, you may also teach within other Humanities disciplines. You don’t need to arrive as an expert in everything, but you do need to be curious, adaptable and willing to develop your knowledge. For the right teacher, that breadth is part of what makes the role interesting.

Relationships matter here. One of the greatest advantages of being a small school is simple: every pupil is known. You won’t just know the names on your register. You’ll get to know the young people behind them - what motivates them, what they find difficult and when they need challenging. Being small also means that staff have a visible impact - ideas can become action quickly, colleagues know and support one another, and you can play a meaningful part in shaping the wider life of the school. If you enjoy being part of a team and are willing to get involved, you’ll thrive here.

We believe excellent teaching develops when teachers have the time and space to think deeply about their practice. That’s why professional development happens every week. Our weekly PD sessions give colleagues regular opportunities to explore teaching and learning, share practice, deepen subject knowledge and think together about what will make the biggest difference to our pupils. We’re embedding the use of StepLab to support this work by helping us turn evidence-informed ideas into deliberate practice, reflection and practical improvements in the classroom.

We’re after someone who loves the classroom, thrives on making learning stick, and knows how to spark curiosity in young minds. If you believe great teaching changes lives, we want to hear from you. This isn’t a role for spectators. We want someone who rolls up their sleeves, gets stuck in, and makes people feel both supported and challenged.

What you’ll need:

  • A strong track record of making real improvements in your own school(s)
  • A willingness to try, reflect, refine, and try again - and get others to do the same
  • Excellent people skills
  • The flexibility to go with the flow - school improvement can be messy

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
