Job description

The Opportunity Are you a historian with the ability to transport students through time? Can you bridge the gap between the ancient world and the modern day, helping young people understand how the past continues to shape their future? We are seeking an inquisitive and articulate History Teacher to join a high-achieving Humanities faculty in Cornwall . Set against a landscape defined by its unique Celtic heritage, maritime legends, and industrial "Tin Coast" history, this school offers a stunning and culturally rich environment for a specialist. We are looking for an educator who can foster critical thinkers, skilled researchers, and empathetic global citizens. Core Responsibilities Pedagogical Excellence: Planning and delivering high-quality, evidence-based lessons across KS3, KS4, and KS5 , including GCSE History and A-Level History . Source Analysis Mastery: Developing students’ ability to interrogate primary and secondary sources, identifying bias, provenance, and historical significance. Narrative Depth: Guiding students through a diverse and decolonised curriculum—from the complexities of the British Empire and the Cold War to the social history of medicine and local Cornish heritage. Curriculum Innovation: Integrating Cornwall’s unique local context—including its mining legacy and maritime trade—into the broader national and international historical narrative. Exam Mastery: Mentoring examination cohorts through AQA or Edexcel specifications, with a clinical focus on structured essay writing and the command of second-order concepts (cause, consequence, change, and continuity). Historical Enquiry: Leading extracurricular initiatives such as "History Mystery" clubs, debating societies, and coordinating heritage trips to local sites like St Michael’s Mount or the National Maritime Museum. Why This School? Cornwall’s Living History: Work in a county where history is visible at every turn, providing incredible scope for fieldwork, local archaeology projects, and community-led historical research. Collaborative Humanities Faculty: Join a team that values "intellectual curiosity" and shared planning, working closely with Geography and RE colleagues to provide a holistic understanding of human society. Modern Learning Resources: Benefit from a well-resourced library, dedicated digital archives, and a department that prioritises the use of high-quality scholarship in the classroom. Professional Growth: Access to specialist CPD through the Historical Association (HA) , external examiner training, and clear pathways toward Head of History or Lead Practitioner roles. Candidate Profile Qualification: QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and a strong honours degree in History or a related Humanities discipline. Subject Knowledge: A deep and broad chronological understanding, with the ability to teach complex political, social, and economic history with nuance and enthusiasm. Pedagogy: A proven track record of facilitating strong student progress and a commitment to "enquiry-led" learning that challenges all ability ranges. Character: A resilient, articulate, and passionate educator who can inspire a love for the past and build strong relationships within a close-knit coastal community. How to Apply To apply for this position, please submit your CV today.
