We are currently enjoying an exciting new phase at the school and we are now seeking a part time teacher of History for KS3 and 4 who is interested in joining our team.

Have you a passion to help young people make progress?

Have you high aspirations for yourself which will help you to inspire and motivate our students to believe they can be what they want to be, helping them to increase their self-esteem?

If so, why not become part of our new exciting future at Wellfield High School, in an executive partnership with Endeavour Learning Trust, which is providing opportunities for both our staff and students and transforming our school to make rapid progress.
For our staff, we are firmly committed to ensuring this is a job that can be enjoyed, where everyone can flourish. We pay close attention to work/life balance and, across the trust; we are developing strategies that take a common sense approach to those aspects of the role that could become an unnecessary burden on workload such as feedback and marking and centralised detentions. We have a strong, consistent behaviour policy where staff are fully supported in their teaching and students understand the consequences of their actions.
Our Trust CPD network and curriculum development enables our teachers to learn together, sharing their practice and encouraging and supporting each other to get the best out of our working day.
