An exciting opportunity has become available to secure a teaching post in one of the country’s best middle schools.  The Governing Body wishes to appoint a Teacher of History on a part time, temporary basis. This would be a perfect role for an ECT or someone returning to teaching.

We are an oversubscribed, very popular school, and our school community is committed to excellence.  Our pupils are motivated to learn, and their behaviour is outstanding. In November 2024, Ofsted rated the school as ‘Outstanding’ in all four areas and in June 2025, the school was also awarded the School of Character Kitemark plus. 

We are looking for a Teacher of History with enthusiasm and a passion for learning who will:

  • Be an inspirational teacher with very high standards and expectations of children’s learning and behaviour, and who is relentless in their desire to raise standards and ensure all children reach their potential.
  • Be a ‘people person’ demonstrating exceptional inter-personal skills.
  • Be committed to safeguarding all children.
  • Possess excellent organisational skills.
  • Motivate to inspire others in the pursuit of excellence.
  • Promote inclusion as the heart of school improvement.

If you are interested in working in an exciting, forward-thinking School of Character, with a real focus on ‘learning’ and professional development, then we would like to hear from you.

In return we offer you:

  • Very talented and supportive staff team.
  • Exceptionally supportive Governing Body.
  • Highly effective opportunities for CPD and career progression.
  • An opportunity to work in an ‘Outstanding’ school, which puts character at the fore.
  • An opportunity to work in a school that is part of a thriving and secure pyramid of schools, working exceptionally closely with our feeder first schools, South Bromsgrove High School, and the Spire Trust Learning Partnership.
  • Transport links in this area are excellent.

Applications must be on official Worcestershire County Council job application forms obtained through the school.  CV’s will not be accepted.  Further details and application forms are available from Miss T Franklin, School Secretary.  Visitors to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged.  Please contact Miss Franklin to make an appointment.

We are an equal opportunities employer and committed to promoting safeguarding and the welfare of children.  There is an expectation that all staff are committed to the promotion of fundamental British values.  The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore subject to an enhanced DBS certificate, as well as qualification checks and a children’s barred list check.  Please also note that online checks will be conducted on all short-listed candidates in line with best practice. This list is not exhaustive.
