History Teacher – Top 20 UK School

1st Staff are looking to recruit a History teacher who can teach up to A level.

The School
This is for a leading independent day and boarding school for boys, with excellent links to London, Surrey and the south coast.
All boys study History until the end of the Upper Third. Normally about 130 boys opt to take History to GCSE, and around 70 boys study History or Politics in each year of the Sixth Form.

Aims
The History and Politics Department aims to enthuse and challenge the boys at all ages, and to foster a love for the subject. Through a process of investigation, study and questioning, the boys will be able to work independently, and to argue cogently and in a well-informed manner. Their powers of verbal and written expression will be developed and they will have a fuller understanding of the past, and our place in society and the world today. This is all coupled with a constant aspiration for academic excellence and preparation for public examinations, university courses and the world of work.

Syllabus
They study the Ancient Greeks and Romans, the Middle Ages, Tudor and Stuart England, and the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions, followed by the First and Second World Wars and the Inter War years. At GCSE, they follow the Edexcel History A syllabus, which has four units: International Relations 1943-91; Germany 1919-39; the USA 1945-1970; and the United Kingdom 1970-90. At A Level, we study Russia 1881-1953, The Development of Parliamentary Democracy in Britain 1800-1900, International relations 1871-1941, and Germany 1800-1900. They also offer and encourage the IB History course.

If you are looking for a new and exciting career move and feel you fit the above criteria, then please send your CV to John at 1st Staff.
