Teacher of HistoryRequired from September 2026Salary: MPS + inner London “This is a very happy and caring school. Leaders know pupils and their families well. One pupil, typical of many, described the school as ‘home.’” (OFSTED 2023) Lilian Baylis Technology School is a mixed, 11-18, inner city school located in a new building at Vauxhall, London. We are a multicultural community school, which serves the local community, and we view this as one of our key strengths. We value the diversity of our school, and strive to ensure that our students feel represented, at whole school level and within the curriculum. Our students are well behaved and ambitious, and they also value the school. All visitors to the school always comment on the calm and productive atmosphere of lessons. In addition to this, we have outstanding facilities for our students and teachers, including electronic whiteboards and visualisers in all rooms, as well as laptops for all staff. Teachers usually have their own classroom base for all their lessons and there are plentiful resources for teaching and the curriculum. Student progress at both GCSE and A Level History is above national average. In particular, we are highly effective at bridging the gaps between disadvantaged students and non-disadvantaged students. We run an extensive intervention programme, at Key Stage 3, which means students who have low prior attainment are able to work on “catching-up” with their peers. At KS3 the History team has developed a highly praised decolonised curriculum that is highly engaging, resulting in strong take up levels at Key Stage 4 and 5. Most students who go on to study A Level History also choose to stay in our school 6th form for Key Stage 5, and usually also progress to study History or a related social science subject at university. We are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic colleague to join our Humanities team as a teacher of History. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to
