Humanities at Durrington High School, currently consists of thriving subject teams with a range of experience. Our aim is to continuously improve the standard of teaching and student outcomes within the Humanities area. In essence, we want to be one of the best humanities teams in the county and the country. In order to achieve this we are continuously evaluating our curriculum and our provision, as well as looking beyond our local area to the work that is conducted by the Geographical Association, Historical Association and PSHE Association at a national level. In addition, the Humanities area is beginning to take a clear lead in whole school developments. As one of only 39 Research Schools in the country, we are at the forefront of using research from the world of education and cognitive science to develop our teaching, and also to support other schools with developing their practice. The humanities team have embraced this approach fully and have been pivotal in terms of sharing how they use these approaches to improve their teaching, with other teachers in the school and beyond. So you are joining a team of teachers who are energised and enthusiastic about teaching their subject.
In History we follow a broad and balanced programme of study which is strongly linked to the current National Curriculum. We are proud that all our humanities subjects are taught by specialists and that uptake into GCSE is very very strong. Many of our students make the choice to study more than 1 humanity as part of their GCSE options.
We are looking to recruit a strong teacher who will be able to work with the other leaders to support the staff in achieving excellent outcomes for the students. Leadership development is a strength of our school and whether you are an ambitious developing or experienced teacher, you will be invested in by a range of leaders.
If you are an enthusiastic, hardworking, conscientious and energetic teacher, who not only values young people but can motivate and inspire them across the age and ability range, then we would like to hear from you.
