Become a Cornerstone of Learning: Teacher of History at an Outstanding Portsmouth School (September 2025 - Including A-Level)

More than just a teaching position, this is an opportunity to become an integral part of a warm, welcoming, and highly supportive academic community at our Outstanding school located in the thriving and community-focused city of Portsmouth, Hampshire. We're seeking a dedicated and empathetic Teacher of History to join us in September 2025, someone who is not only passionate about their subject but also deeply invested in the holistic development, intellectual curiosity, and critical thinking skills of our students across Key Stage 3 and, importantly, Key Stage 4 and 5.

As a valued member of our team, commencing in September 2025, with a significant contribution to A-Level teaching, you'll:

* Nurture Historical Understanding: Create a positive and inclusive learning environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to explore the complexities of the past across all key stages, fostering confidence and engagement for every learner.

* Collaborate with Dedicated Professionals: Work alongside a team of passionate and experienced educators who are committed to a shared vision of academic excellence and student success across all disciplines, including the delivery of a stimulating A-Level History curriculum.

* Contribute to a Positive Ethos: Embrace our school's inclusive and collaborative culture, where every member of staff is valued, and their contributions to the academic and pastoral life of the school are recognised within the Portsmouth community.

* Make a Real Difference: Have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students and guide them on their journey to becoming historically literate, critical thinkers, and confident analysts of the past, supporting their aspirations for higher education and future careers, particularly as they progress through their A-Level studies.

* Enjoy a Supportive Work Environment: Benefit from a leadership team that prioritises staff well-being, provides excellent professional development opportunities in History pedagogy, and fosters a strong sense of community within our Portsmouth school and the Humanities department, with specific support for A-Level teaching and enrichment activities like museum visits.

We're looking for a qualified History teacher who is not only an excellent practitioner but also a caring and supportive individual with a passion for fostering a deep understanding of the past in a dynamic urban environment like Portsmouth, with the ability to inspire and challenge students from diverse backgrounds across all key stages. If you're seeking a school within Portsmouth where you can truly make a difference in the lives of young people through History, including significant Key Stage 5 involvement, and feel a strong sense of belonging within a thriving department, we'd be thrilled to hear from you for a September 2025 start.

Shape the next generation of critical thinkers in Portsmouth – a rewarding role with A-Level teaching awaits, starting September 2025
