Head of Humanities

At Rushden Academy, we don’t just talk about "well-being" - we live it. We know that if our staff are happy, supported, and growing, our students will be too. We call ourselves Team Rushden for a reason: we are a tight knit, fiercely supportive community of educators and learners who genuinely enjoy working together. Why You’ll Love It Here: A "Good" Place to Be: Ofsted recently rated us ‘Good’ across the board. They noticed our caring ethos and shared values, but what they really saw was a school where pupils feel safe, happy, and ready to learn. Your Growth is Personal: We don’t believe in "one size fits all" training. You’ll get a personalised CPD plan designed to help you reach whatever your next career milestone looks like. A Bigger Network: As part of the Tove Learning Trust (TLT), you aren’t on an island. You’ll have access to incredible collaboration networks and trust-wide training that keeps your practice fresh. The Best of Both Worlds: Through our shared Sixth Form with Huxlow Academy, you get the variety of teaching across the full spectrum from KS3 to KS5. Who We Are Looking For: We aren't looking for a robot. We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Humanities who: Loves their subject (and loves finding ways to make students love it, too). Thrives in a collaborative environment where "sharing is caring" applies to lesson plans and quality assurance alike. Wants to make a genuine, lasting impact on a community that is incredibly grateful for the education they receive. Our students are wonderful, our staff are dedicated, and the only thing missing is you. If you have the skills, the knowledge, and the heart to join an incredible team, we want to hear from you. Ready to join the team? We’d love to read your letter of application together with a completed application form. Come and see why Rushden Academy is such a special place to work.
