The role

Nottingham Girls’ High School seeks an outstanding and experienced History and Politics teacher to join our thriving Humanities Faculty in September.

The post will involve teaching mainly History from KS3 to A level, alongside A level Politics, delivering engaging and high‑quality lessons with expertise and enthusiasm, supporting the progress of individual students and contributing positively to the school’s pastoral system.

We have an attractive and open campus that backs on to the Nottingham Arboretum, an ideal place to walk or run during free periods and over lunch. The school is centrally located with excellent public transport links, including a tram stop less than 500m from the school.

We have also recently opened a new gym which staff can access at certain times and enjoy discounted rates.
