St Bede's is seeking seeking a teacher of history to join them on a part-time basis (0.8 FTE) from September 2025.

The history department consists of the Head of Department, a KS3 Co-ordinator and five other members of staff. History is taught to mixed ability form groups in Years 7 to 9 and in mixed ability option groups in Years 10 and 11. For 2024-2025 there will be seven groups in Year 10 and six groups in Year 11. Our Year 10 and Year 11 groups will be following Edexcel GCSE (9-1) with units covering Elizabethan England, Medicine in Britain, Weimar and Nazi Germany and Superpower Relations: The Cold War 1941-1991.

Year 12 and 13 students study the AQA History A level modules: The Making of a Superpower, USA 1865-1975, the English Revolution 1625-1660 and their NEA Historical Investigation Essay is on the fall of the Romanovs in Russia 1825-1917.

The department is particularly committed to fieldwork and will be introducing a residential trip to Belgium for GCSE students which is directly relevant to the Medicine on the Western Front section of GCSE Paper 1. It is currently running a GCSE day trip to an Immersive Trenches Experience, that will help to bring the topic to life. In the Sixth Form it organises a visit to Washington DC every two years, aimed at History and Politics students. It has also offered students the opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament for a day trip.

Please note, the School will review applications on receipt and as such, this vacancy may close earlier than the deadline advertised. Early applications are encouraged.
