Head of History

To start January 2025

History is a very popular option at Raynes Park High School and forms one of the key cornerstones of our humanities faculty. Our students are keen and highly engaged in their history studies and behaviour across the humanities faculty is exemplary. Our history team has continued to expand in recent years and it is now an ideal time for a new leader to join us and take control of this excellent department.

We would like to appoint an exceptional and creative teacher with a love of their subject and the ability to lead the delivery of History in our school. You will be an experienced and motivational leader with the passion and enthusiasm to inspire our students. Our vision is to grow a thriving department that engages our students and delivers exceptional outcomes.

Whilst the students are at the centre of everything we do, we recognise and value our dedicated and committed staff. We are actively seeking ways to enable our staff to achieve a balance between the exacting demands of their profession and their lives outside work. Above all, we aim to ensure that every student is inspired to learn and achieves the best they can as a result of exceptional teaching and learning.
