We wish to appoint an enthusiastic and ambitious Head of History to join our successful school.
The Broxbourne School is an 11 – 18, co-educational, friendly and heavily over-subscribed all ability school of 1259 pupils with 231 A-level students. We are situated just north of the M25 close to the train station with a fast service to London and Cambridge.
The school provides an excellent academic education within a caring and supportive environment. The school has been graded as ‘good’ by Ofsted. “Every student is spurred on to achieve their best because leaders and teachers have high expectations and aspirations for all”. “Teachers have very strong relationships with students who, as a result, are engaged and motivated to try their best. This creates a very positive climate for learning” (Ofsted November 2013).
In 2014, 74% of pupils achieved 5 or more higher grades including English and maths with 81% achieving A*-C in English; 80% making expected (3 levels) progress KS2 to 4; and 36% making more than (4 levels) progress. 81% achieved 5 or more higher grades. Our A-level points score per entry was 223 and A-level points score per student was 824.
History is a strong department with 60 students currently studying AS/AL History and 258 students taking GCSE History. The school is committed to providing teachers with excellent resources, clerical support, LSA support and a disciplined environment. The post would suit an ambitious teacher who wishes to develop their career further to Assistant or Deputy Headship. The school is committed to continuing professional development and will support teachers wishing to complete a Masters in Education. The school also operates an accelerated pay progression for exceptional teachers.
Further details and application form are available from the school website.
