Charlton is a very successful 11-16 co-operative school.   We were very excited to move into our new school building in June 2016.  We believe in progress through partnership with learning at the heart of all we do.  We are a school that has a caring and disciplined environment, combining a degree of formality with good relationships between adults and students. 

Wellington is a quaint market town, rapidly improving facilities and new housing being built nearby the school.  From its central position, Wellington is easily reached by rail and has a large train station in the town.  It is close to Shrewsbury and the famous Ironbridge, which is an area of local beauty and historical interest and one of the best in Shropshire!

We are offering an exciting opportunity for a teacher to join our successful Humanities department, helping to manage 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.

As a key member of our Humanities team you will focus on ensuring the progress of every child by developing their skills, knowledge and understanding within an exciting and relevant curriculum.

Our Humanities department has an excellent team spirit where collaboration, cooperation and the sharing of best practice are key, as is hard work within a supportive team. Learning is at the heart of all they do and they aim to provide students with outstanding opportunities.

We are looking for a Head of History who is enthusiastic about their subject, someone who can inspire the children in their care to be passionate about History and all this can offer them.

The position will start as soon as possible. Our school is an equal opportunity employer, so we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children and individuals. This post is subject to a DBS Enhanced Disclosure.
