Hugh Christie School

Full-Time Teacher of Social Science

Are you enthusiastic to spark a curiosity for Social Sciences in our young people? Are you keen to keep developing your own subject and pedagogical knowledge? Are you looking to collaborate and grow in a supportive and environment?

We are delighted to have the opportunity to take on a new Social Science Teacher who loves their subject, is eager to engage in research and believes that every student should be given the best chance to succeed. We are looking for a teacher who will bring their own dynamism and positive attitude and become a trusted and valued team member.

The successful candidate will have high expectations of their students, strong subject knowledge. The ability or desire to teach at KS5 is a bonus.

CPD is at the heart of good teaching and the heart of our Department vision: the successful candidate will be supported to continue their own learning and develop their own specialisms and interests.

To support teacher welfare, we benefit from an early 1.35pm finish on Fridays and a two-week half term in October.

Hugh Christie School

Hugh Christie opened in 1957 as a co-educational school for children of all needs and abilities. Based in Tonbridge with excellent transport links, the school is housed in well maintained buildings on an attractive campus, with excellent facilities.

It is our aim that every child at Hugh Christie is happy, successful and well prepared for adult life. This website provides you with all the important information about how we try to achieve this.

Long Mead Community Primary School

Long Mead Primary School serves an estate in the north end of Tonbridge. The local ward it serves has relatively high levels of deprivation for the area. As a result, the school has higher than average number of disadvantaged children on its roll.

The school has a population of around 170 children, including a nursery. The school roll has fluctuated over time and this had made stability a challenge. One priority area is to increase numbers attending the school in the nursery and reception by broadening the appeal of the school to the local community.
