What skills and experience we're looking for
The History department consists of three highly skilled teachers; all convey a love for their subject and the enrichment programme offered is extensive across KS3-5. The department has a very strong track record of high performance at KS4 and KS5 over time. Outcomes are excellent for students.
History is a very popular GCSE option and there are usually three or four groups in Year 9-11. This popularity continues at A Level where both History and Politics are taught.
The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and qualified teacher of History and Politics who is able to teach across KS3-KS5. In particular the school requires a teacher who is as passionate about delivering high-quality teaching as they are about their subject. It is essential that candidates are able to teach History up to KS5, and the ability to offer a second subject is desirable.
The role is suitable for a colleague entering the profession and our support programme for ECTs is excellent. Alternatively, you might be looking to develop your career in a new context and we will be able to support in your career development.
If the Head of Year post interests you please identify this in your application.
What the school offers its staff
The School is committed to excellence in professional development and an extensive well-being programme is in place with many benefits including reduced gym membership at CCCU, event afternoons throughout the year and other benefits offered by BCAT and Kent Rewards.
Commitment to safeguarding
In line with KCSIE 2022 guidance, part of the shortlisting process, the Trust reserves the right to conduct an online search on shortlisted candidates as part of our due diligence and any relevant information found concerning a candidate's suitability to work with children will be discussed at interview stage. Barton Court Grammar School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
