HISTORY TEACHER

Salary: Main Scale/UPS

Location: Charlton School

Required from: September 2025

Contract type: FTE

Contract term: Permanent

Charlton is an 11-16 comprehensive school, well established in the heart of its local community. We are a truly comprehensive school, admitting children from over 20 primary schools, with students’ prior attainment at KS2 broadly in line with the National Average, with a slight bias towards higher ability range.

At Charlton, we take pride in students’ progress, with learning at the heart of all we do. We know the importance of inspiring students to develop a thirst for learning, so our curriculum is broad, rich, and matched to individuals’ needs.

Our emphasis on purposeful, relevant learning means that our students benefit from a range of visits, specialist teaching, and extensive extra-curricular experiences. We aim for all our students to enjoy school, excel in their studies, and attain outstanding outcomes.

Charlton’s Vision – Building Knowledge, Developing Character, Inspiring Futures

Our vision is to nurture happy, healthy young people who have the knowledge, academic achievement, and strength of character to lead safe and successful lives in modern Britain, preparing them for their next steps in education or employment with a thirst for lifelong learning.

Charlton’s Values

At Charlton, our ethos is built upon our three core values. We expect all members of the Charlton community to always exhibit these values:

• Respect
• Responsibility
• Resilience

We are tremendously proud of our school building. It provides first rate facilities, purpose-built for the 21st century. Our new build school opened in June 2016 and was the last school in the country to be completed under the Building Schools for the Future scheme.

Additional investment in state-of-the-art ICT, Sports, Expressive Arts, Science, and Technology has been a great boost to students’ already rich curriculum of Foreign Languages, Humanities, English, and Maths. We firmly believe that the new facilities will further strengthen our high performance across the school.

The school joined the Learning Communities Trust as an academy in December 2018. This is a multi-academy trust set up to serve the needs of the students in the Wellington and Hadley areas of Telford. This is an exciting development for the school, and we are already seeing the benefits of collaborating with other schools.

Following a recent Ofsted inspection (May 2023), the school has been judged to be good overall and good in all the separate judgement areas. We are delighted with the outcome, and that the dedication and hard work of our students and staff have been rightly recognised.

We are offering an exciting opportunity for an excellent teacher to join our successful History department, supporting the further development of an innovative curriculum for all, with purposeful, contextual learning and high expectations for students forming a major part of our passion for learning.A teacher who is enthusiastic about their subject, someone who can inspire the students to be passionate about History. The successful candidate will be required to teach a small number of Religious Education classes at Key Stage 3.
