Astor College’s successful History Department is looking to appoint either an NQT or more experienced teacher to join an enthusiastic, hard-working and innovative team. The department is well-resourced and led by outstanding practitioners who are keen to ensure all students not only achieve well but also develop an enjoyment of the subject.  Astor College is a leading partnership setting for ITE and NQTs and the History Department is experienced in supporting newly qualified teachers in an environment which is keen to share good practice.

Details about the post

We are looking for a passionate, reliable, inquisitive teacher of History who can see the infinite possibilities in all our students.

History is taught across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5; and is one of our most popular option choices at KS4 and 5.  Candidates must be able to teach History at Key Stages 3 and 4 and candidates who are also able to teach History at Key Stage 5 will be at a distinct advantage.

Astor is an outward facing school with a wide range of professional development opportunities.  We are a designated Teacher Development Trust Regional CPD Hub, and we are also involved in local Teaching and Learning networks with the other secondary schools in the area.  We have a long history of growing our own teachers, with lots of potential to develop into middle leadership roles.
