Wallingford School is an oversubscribed, successful 11-18 school with enthusiastic students, supportive staff and excellent facilities. We are among the most successful schools in the country for progress in English and Maths. In 2019 students achieved 75% 4+ in English and Maths at GCSE, with a Progress 8 score of +0.31. Our A Level students are consistently in the top 25% nationally for Value Added progress.
This is a very happy and supportive environment, with great relationships throughout the school. We place an especially high value on the development of colleagues and have an extensive professional development programme. There are many opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively across the school.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a truly talented, dedicated, and friendly History department. We believe all students can achieve and benefit from a rigorous, stimulating, and relevant education in History. Numbers at GCSE and A Level are testament to the quality of teaching delivered and we have a strong enrichment programme. History sits within a highly committed and forward-thinking Humanities department. The successful candidate will be joining at a brilliant time as we move all Humanities subjects into a new building with the opportunity to further strengthen links between departments. We are dedicated to improving practice and focus much of our energy on developing teaching and learning. Subject knowledge, cultural capital, challenge and engagement are at the heart of everything we do.
Within the department, and the school as a whole, there are often opportunities to take on roles of responsibility for those looking to develop their career. Part-time applications may be considered.
Wallingford School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful candidates will be subject to the usual child protection vetting processes along with other relevant employment checks.
