Further details about the role
The Humanities and History department is fully staffed with subject specialists. It is a popular choice at KS4 and is often oversubscribed with many pupils picking History as part of the EBAC set of qualifications. At KS4 we teach Edexcel including the History of Migration paper. Our scheme of work is built around the national curriculum with an emphasis on representing the diversity of our Trinity Family. The History department often leads on whole school drop down days, extending the curriculum beyond national requirements. When possible, we offer trips both locally, nationally and Europe wide to deepen pupils understanding and love of the subject. During our most recent Ofsted inspection, History was chosen as a deep dive subject and received very positive feedback. You will be joining a very strong department within the school.
