Teacher of History

Teacher of History

(with the opportunity to teach across

the wider Humanities curriculum)

MPR / UPR

For September 2026, we are seeking to recruit

an exceptional teacher of History to join our dynamic and forward-thinking History

Department. You will be a highly skilled and enthusiastic practitioner who can

inspire students and help us continue to raise attainment in this key

subject.

History continues to be a very popular subject

at KS4. We follow the GCSE Edexcel curriculum covering Crime and Punishment

C.1000-present day, Superpower Relations, and the Cold War 1941-91, Henry VIII

and his ministers 1509-40, and Weimar and Nazi Germany 1918-39. The

well-resourced KS3 curriculum is enquiry led and covers a range of interesting

and diverse stories. In order to support this curriculum, we run various trips

throughout KS3 and KS4 which you would be expected to contribute towards.

This is an exciting time to join us at Crofton;

following our recent Ofsted, in which the History department was celebrated, we

are continuing our focus on using effective adaptive teaching practices to

ensure all learners make good progress. We are a happy, and ambitious school,

excited about our journey to becoming exceptional. If you are an imaginative

and energetic teacher, able to contribute to our culture of sharing best

practice and want to make a difference to the life-chances of all the students

in your care then this could be the post for you.

Whilst History is at the heart of this role, we welcome applications

from versatile teachers keen to contribute to our vibrant, broader Humanities

curriculum. Applications are welcome

from qualified teachers from all levels of experience. We have an outstanding,

and established Induction Programme to support staff new to the profession,

that follows the national ECT programme. The person appointed will be

given full support in their career development as we believe that development

of staff is a key aspect in raising standards for our students.
