Teacher of History (maternity cover)

This is a great opportunity to join a highly successful school as part of a friendly and very hard-working department. Established as a brand-new school in 2002, we moved into our award-winning £30 million accommodation in 2005. The school is located within easy reach of central London via the District Line and yet just minutes by car from the Essex countryside.
In 2018/19 Our Client achieved another set of excellent outcomes at both KS4 and KS5. The school’s Progress 8 score is 0.37 which placed us in the ‘well above national average’ category. At KS5 our A*-C grade was 86\%, the best in the borough, we also achieved an average A Level grade of B-. Our vocational press score was with an average BTEC grade of Distinction*. On both measures, Our client is one of the best in the borough. Our Sixth Form continues to work in partnership with four other schools in order to deliver the highest quality post-16 education pathways for our students. We were recently awarded an Alps Certificate of Outstanding Progress (2018/19) which places us in the top 20\% of Sixth Form providers nationally. Due to the Covid-19 outbreak and all schools’ temporary closure in March 2020, the Government decided that the summer exam series at both KS4 and KS5 would be cancelled. Schools were asked to submit Centre Assessed Grades and the students were awarded these grades in August 2020. Therefore, no summer examination performance data will appear on the DfE website and schools are not being asked to publish student outcomes for the academic year 2019/20.
In June 2018 we found out that we had been nominated for the Pearson Teaching Award School of the Year – Making a Difference. Following a visit from the judges in June, we were informed we had made it to the finals in Central London in late October. At the finals, Michael Morpurgo, renowned children’s author, presented us with this prestigious national gold award. We are very proud to be the Pearson School of the Year 2018.
We pride ourselves on being a truly inclusive school and this is actively underpinned by our motto ‘Success for All’. Academic rigour runs alongside a commitment to extra-curricular activities and we offer our students a wide range of opportunities to pursue their studies both inside and outside the classroom. Our extensive range of extra-curricular activities, together with trips to Rome, Berlin, France, Borneo, the WWI trenches in Ypres, skiing in the USA, and our highly regarded Duke of Edinburgh programme, is second to none and ensures all students get the chance to extend their academic, social and cultural experiences outside of the classroom. New staff are encouraged to participate in trips.
The school’s most recent OFSTED report described the school as good with outstanding leadership and governance and outstanding spiritual, moral, social and cultural provision; this judgement was reinforced at our last Section 8 inspection in November 2017.
The school prides itself on providing staff with the most appropriate and effective support to ensure that their professional development needs are fully met and that there is a high level of challenge in the opportunities they are offered. Wednesday afternoons are devoted to CPD and the school has a very strong record of developing staff; nearly half of the Heads of Department and Heads of Year joined the school as NQTs, as did four members of the Senior Leadership Team. Please visit the “join us as a member of staff” page of our award-winning website to learn more about what makes Our client such a special place to work.


History is a hugely popular subject at JRCS. Over 200 students study the GCSE course in Years 10 and 11 and the department teaches A-level classes in Years 12 and 13. Achievement in the department is extremely high at GCSE and A level. The department is committed to learning outside of the classroom and, in normal years, runs educational visits in all key stages; these include trips to Ypres, Belgium, Mountfitchet Castle and a Year 13 trip to Berlin and Rome. The department prides itself on being at the cutting edge of history teaching and is constantly looking to enhance practice through links with organisations such as the Schools History Project and the Institute of Education, University College London. The department is engaged with current thinking about curriculum and has developed a diverse curriculum with a wide range of voices.
The department is a friendly, close knit team; our work is built upon the principles of enthusiasm, challenge and achievement and we would warmly welcome a new member of staff who subscribes to those values. Candidates should be prepared to teach across all key stages. The department is fully staffed with a highly committed and effective team based in a suite of dedicated rooms, all equipped with projectors and visualisers.
High quality induction, including a two-week ECT school-based immersion programme in July, is available to all staff as part of our strong commitment to continuing professional development. Although this is a maternity cover position, the two year ECT programme can be completed at multiple institutions.
