We’re working with a forward-thinking secondary academy with a simple but powerful purpose, to help pupils enjoy learning, aim high, and feel valued every single day. Everything they do is guided by three shared values, Aspiration, Respect and Excellence, and it genuinely shows. From the moment you step inside, there’s a real sense of pride and belonging.
The role is mainly History, teaching across KS3 and KS4, with some wider Humanities teaching where it fits naturally. For the right person, there’s also scope to teach A Level History. The curriculum is carefully sequenced and rich in both British and global history, with a strong focus on enquiry, critical thinking and building evidence-based arguments. This is about meaningful learning, not ticking boxes.
You’ll be joining a welcoming and collaborative Humanities faculty made up of History, Geography and RE specialists. It’s a team that plans together, shares ideas freely, and genuinely supports one another. Whether you’re an ECT finding your feet or a more experienced teacher looking for a school that trusts your judgement, you’ll be encouraged and supported to do your best work.
One of the academy’s real strengths is its year-based system, which creates a nurturing environment where pupils feel known, supported, and proud of their school. Older students take on leadership roles, model positive behaviour, and help run events, all rooted in those same shared values of aspiration, respect and excellence.
Beyond the classroom, there’s a strong extra-curricular offer across sport, creativity and academic enrichment. Pupils build confidence, form strong relationships, and staff are encouraged to get involved in ways that suit them, no pressure, just opportunities.
Start dates are flexible, with roles available from January 2026, April 2026 or September 2026. Applications are welcomed from both ECTs and experienced Humanities teachers.
What you’ll need:
1. UK QTS, or on track to achieve it
2. A genuine love for History and strong subject knowledge
3. The ability to build positive relationships and spark curiosity
4. A commitment to inclusive, values-led education
What Protocol Education offers:
5. Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella companies
6. Free access to our online CPD Academy
7. Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant who actually listens
8. Opportunities that match your values, not just your CV
