Your Role

Are you a passionate historian with a gift for inspiring historical inquiry and a commitment to pedagogical excellence?  


About the Role

We are looking for an expert practitioner who believes that History is the world’s memory and a vital tool for helping students navigate and find their place within today’s modern, multicultural society. As a History Teacher at Priesthorpe, you will journey with our students through years of history, helping them see how change, continuity, conflict, and peace shape our world.


Our Pedagogy: Excellence through Evidence

You will join a dynamic department that is committed to a research-led, ambitious curriculum. Our approach is rooted in the latest educational research, and we are looking for a teacher who can embed high-impact strategies, such as those found in Teach Like a Champion (TLAC).

  • Rigour and Inclusion: You will use techniques like No Opt Out and Cold Call to ensure our commitment to inclusion is met, giving every student an equal chance to succeed.
  • Support Mastery: Use evidence-based strategies like retrieval practice, interleaving, and the 'I do, We Do, You Do' model to move students from novices to experts.
  • Check for Understanding: Integrate opportunities to skillfully check understanding such as effective questioning and active observation.





Our Values: The Co-op Way

We are guided by the Co-op’s ‘Ways of Being’:

  • Succeed together: We achieve more through solidarity than as individuals.
  • Do what matters most: Focusing on the academic and personal growth of our students.
  • Be yourself, always: Celebrating our multicultural community and treating everyone with respect.
  • Show you care: Prioritising the well-being of both students and colleagues.


Why Join Us?

We recognise the vital part you play in our success and offer a comprehensive rewards package:

  • Well-being First: Dedicated well-being weeks each term (with all meetings cancelled) and a supportive Academy Leadership Team.
  • Professional Growth: Fortnightly ‘CRAFT’ sessions focused on your personal and professional development, alongside weekly ‘Community’ sessions with free staff breakfast.
  • Co-op Benefits: A Co-op colleague discount card.
  • Inclusive Environment: Join a community where pupils are "proud to be members of an inclusive community".


How to Apply

If you share our vision for a learning environment that is both ambitious and inclusive, we would love to hear from you.
