Job Description
Coleridge Community College is now recruiting for a Head of History for a September 2023 start. You will be leading a department which is ambitious about achieving the very best results for our students. This role could be the ideal next step in your career and an opportunity to lead our department through the next stage of its development.
We are looking for the right person to join our team: we believe that our most important purpose is to teach young people things they would not learn outside school which empower them. We believe that ‘Knowledge Is Power’. We believe in teaching through explicit/direct instruction (Rosenshine and Engelmann) and utilising Walkthru techniques. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. Our mission, therefore, is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. We also believe in ‘Education with Character’ – we want young people to look back on a schooling that has inspired and challenged them, given them wide opportunity and prepared them for the ups and downs of life.
Interested candidates are welcome to speak with us in advance for further information, please email . It may be possible to arrange visits to the school.
