The History teaching on offer with this role covers all key stages. Politics teaching is taught at Key Stage Five only. Please note that the ability to teach Religious Studies at Key Stage Three would be an advantage.

Responding to the needs of the individual student is a vital aspect of a teacher’s role at Ashford School, whether this is during co-curricular activities or in one-to-one academic booster sessions.
