Saint Cecilia’s Church of England School is an inclusive, co-educational and community orientated academy, for pupils and students, aged 11-18 years. Specialising in the teaching of Music and Mathematics, Saint Cecilia’s is a well-respected and hugely oversubscribed school.Teaching is exceptional, our curriculum is challenging, standards of behaviour are high and our results are consistently good.
The school’s vision is driven by its Christian mission to ‘Glorify God, through outstanding and enjoyable education’, which is underpinned by John 10:10 “I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full.” Whilst candidates must be in sympathy with the aims of a voluntary-aided Church of England school, a Christian commitment is not essential for this post.
We are looking for a dedicated, inspirational Teacher of History to join our successful team to teach across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. There is also the potential to teach Politics at A Level in the department for interested candidates. Whether you are an experienced subject teacher or just starting your teaching career, our school offers first class career progression and exciting professional opportunities.The successful applicant will be joining a school community that places the continual professional development of staff via collaboration underpinned by educational research at the heart of all that we do.
