Teacher of History

Inspire the next generation of Historians at the school where it all began with Newton. The King's School, Grantham, is seeking a Teacher of History to join our thriving department. Founded in 1528, King's is a selective Grammar School with a proud tradition of academic excellence. Sir Isaac Newton is our most famous alumnus, but every great scientist has a story, and it is historians who tell it. At King's, History is a subject that matters. This is a department where students genuinely engage with the past. 20 students out of our Year 12 cohort choose to study History at A level each year, and our students consistently achieve exceptional results. They are motivated, intellectually curious and relish the kind of analytical challenge that History demands. For a History teacher, that is a rare and rewarding combination. We welcome applications from both experienced practitioners and early career teachers. What matters most is a genuine passion for History and the ability to bring the subject to life in the classroom. Whether you are an accomplished teacher looking for a department that matches your ambition, or someone at the start of your career seeking an environment where you will be properly supported and developed, this role offers a real opportunity to grow. You will benefit from well-resourced classrooms, including an interactive teaching surface and air-conditioned classrooms. A comprehensive induction and CPD programme will be tailored to your career stage, and the school has a strong track record of developing and promoting its staff.
