Subject Leader for History

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive and motivated individual to join our school community and take up the Subject Leader of History. This is a pivotal role for an experienced teacher who is passionate about raising achievement and shaping the curriculum for GCSE success.

At Saints Peter & Paul Catholic High School, we are proud to be “An Inclusive Community of Excellence and Opportunity.” Our vibrant and dynamic school values respect, aspiration, and compassion, and every member of staff plays an important role in promoting these values.

We were rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in July 2022, were inspected again in October 2026 and are excited to be able to share our new report when it is published in the coming weeks. In our Catholic School Inspection in October 2024, we were graded ‘Grade 2, Good’. Inspectors recognised the tangible sense of community experienced by students and staff who feel valued and cared for. Our outreach work with other schools has shared good practice and been recognised by the DfE.

As Subject Leader for History you will:

• Lead and develop our history curriculum, ensuring it is engaging, challenging, and aligned with national standards.
• Drive student achievement by analysing data, implementing interventions, and setting high expectations for progress and behaviour.
• Support and mentor colleagues, sharing best practice and leading professional development within the history department
