This is an exciting opportunity for an innovative leader with strong curriculum understanding to join us as Head of Humanities.
The role of Head of Humanities is newly created for September 2020. It reflects our belief in the importance of the Humanities subjects, alongside the core English, mathematics and Science Faculties.
The successful applicant will be supported by a team of Heads of Department (Geography, History, RE and Citizenship) and also by a Humanities Lead Practitioner. As Head of Humanities, you will not be expected to lead a specific subject in addition to your duties as Head of Faculty. Instead, you will provide strategic leadership to your team, with a clear focus on continuing to drive improvements in teaching, curriculum design and progress across the Faculty.
Reporting to an Assistant Headteacher, you will have a varied, dynamic and strategic role. It will be excellent preparation for candidates keen to enter senior leadership positions. The successful candidate will benefit from the support of an experienced, innovative and ambitious senior leadership team.
We would love to hear from you if you are an inspirational, dynamic and creative individual who makes learning fun and challenging, and who is looking to join a supportive and enthusiastic team in beautiful rural surroundings.
