An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a highly qualified, skilled and experienced practitioner to lead our vibrant and successful team of 15 history teachers through the next stage of its development. History is a very popular subject in our school and is taught as a core subject at key stage 3 and a large number opt for it at GCSE. At GCSE, the AQA specification is offered and student outcomes are outstanding. In 2024, 56% of the cohort of 200 students achieved GCSE grades 7-9. At A level, History is an equally popular choice and we currently have 134 students studying the OCR GCE A/AS specification. In 2024, 38 students sat the GCE A level examination and achieved an average grade of A. Politics is also taught at A level and in 2024, the 69 students that took the GCE qualification achieved an average grade A. There are 125 students currently studying the OCR GCE A/AS specification, while 194 students are studying the Edexcel GCE A/AS level Politics specification.
The successful applicant will be an outstanding teacher and leader with the ambition and vision to lead a large team of motivated and committed teachers who believe that there are no limits to what our students can achieve. We are looking to appoint a colleague with a strong and proven track record of delivering outstanding outcomes at GCSE/A level who is ready to take the next step in their career. As a middle leader, you will be a key member of our Teaching and Learning Group and play a key role in driving up standards across the school.
