Are you a passionate historian with a gift for inspiring historical inquiry and a commitment to pedagogical excellence?
About the Role
We are looking for an expert practitioner who believes that History is the world’s memory and a vital tool for helping students navigate and find their place within today’s modern, multicultural society. As a History Teacher at Priesthorpe, you will journey with our students through years of history, helping them see how change, continuity, conflict, and peace shape our world.
Our Pedagogy: Excellence through Evidence

- Rigour and Inclusion: You will use techniques like No Opt Out and Cold Call to ensure our commitment to inclusion is met, giving every student an equal chance to succeed.
- Support Mastery: Use evidence-based strategies like retrieval practice, interleaving, and the 'I do, We Do, You Do' model to move students from novices to experts.
- Check for Understanding: Integrate opportunities to skillfully check understanding such as effective questioning and active observation.
Our Values: The Co-op Way
We are guided by the Co-op’s ‘Ways of Being’:
- Succeed together: We achieve more through solidarity than as individuals.
- Do what matters most: Focusing on the academic and personal growth of our students.
- Be yourself, always: Celebrating our multicultural community and treating everyone with respect.
- Show you care: Prioritising the well-being of both students and colleagues.
