Job description
Tes is supporting the appointment of a dynamic, innovative, and well-qualified Head of History and Politics to lead a highly successful, vibrant department at a school based in Wandsworth.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the ability to model and promote outstanding teaching and learning; will have the skills to support and empower their team; and will have the vision to play a key role in the strategic leadership of History and Politics, both in the classroom and beyond.
Through the study of History at Putney students gain not only an understanding of the past but of the world in which they find themselves. In the school's teaching, they place great importance on the role of debate and discussion, developing a deep enjoyment of academic challenge, and engendering a passion for uncovering past worlds.
The same commitment to debate and discussion permeates the school's Politics lessons, alongside an enjoyment of the fast-changing nature of the study of politics. This approach, and their thriving Politics Society, contributes to the ongoing popularity of Politics A Level.
As one of the UK’s leading schools, the school is rightly proud of its exceptional academic results and pastoral care. A spirit of intellectual agility and engagement is at the heart of the school’s ethos, with pupils stretched, challenged and supported inside the classroom and beyond.
All applicants need to have the Right to Work in the UK to be considered for the role.
