We are looking for an enthusiastic and well-qualified teacher to lead our successful History Department. The successful candidate will build on existing strengths, manage curriculum, and teaching and learning, in an innovative, rigorous and creative manner, and lead the Department into further success.
The Head of Department will work closely with, and be supported by a member of the Senior Leadership Team, and aim to continually improve the quality of teaching and learning, inspire others by personal example, and create a vision, sense of purpose and pride in the Department.
All members of staff at St Catherine’s are expected to be supportive of the aims and ethos of a Catholic school and to share responsibility for pastoral care and the co-curricular programme.
Staff are committed to safeguarding principles and health and safety at all times and ensure good communication with parents, ensure the highest quality and standards of teaching and learning, and encourage all pupils to participate enthusiastically.
