A large number of our pupils progress to study History and related disciplines at university each year, including several who secure places at Oxford and Cambridge. The ability to teach A Level Economics would be desirable, although not essential for this role.

The post would suit either an experienced teacher or an ECT, for whom excellent support is available. The school runs a highly successful induction programme for all ECTs, with a dedicated mentor working under the direction of the Professional Studies Tutor. The person appointed should possess the talent, enthusiasm and imagination to play an active role in the life of the school, contributing to excellence in the classroom and to the wider co-curricular life of our community, where happiness and success are key values.
