This is an exciting time to join Abbeyfield School. Our recent ‘Good’ Ofsted rating (November 2022) highlighted that ‘Staff are proud of the school and enjoy working at it. Leaders and governors are supportive of staff’s workload and well-being'. As a result, both the leaders and students are looking for high-calibre staff who are committed to delivering outstanding teaching and learning opportunities for all.

The Headteacher and Governors are keen to appoint a Teacher of Humanities. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic Humanities team who are fully committed to ensuring all staff and students fulfil their potential and continue to enjoy success. We have spent a lot of time and effort over the past few years developing our curriculum and have a high number of students who continue to take the subject through to KS5. The department delivers Geography, History and Religious Studies at Key Stages 3 and 4 alongside Sociology and Psychology at Key Stage 5. We offer a range of enrichment opportunities and achieve strong outcomes for students. The ability to teach across subjects is desirable with a specialism in either Geography or Religious Studies being preferable.

All our staff receive professional CPD opportunities much of which draws on our links with Challenge Partner as well as the opportunities provided by the National College and NPQ qualifications.

Abbeyfield is a community school which occupies purpose-built premises. It is situated in a beautiful location within commuting distance of Bath, Bristol and Swindon. The school was inspected in November 2022 and we pledge to offer the following:

• Excellent students who will work with you to achieve the highest standards

• A high-performing and growing school

• Excellent leadership, which believes in rapid and sustainable leadership

• A thriving sixth form where pupils make strong progress

• Friendly and welcoming pupils who thrive in an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding
