The History/RE/PDL Department at The Hurst is a committed team of passionate, experienced teachers, with high expectations of ourselves and our classes, who aim to ensure students investigate the importance of key events, scientific developments, personalities and ideas over time, accessing a wide and varied curriculum in Key Stages 3 and 4.

The Department has regularly secured good outcomes at GCSE in both History & RE, and progress made by pupils across the whole ability range is improving.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a friendly and supportive school to help deliver outstanding lessons and ensure the best outcomes for all of our students. Applications are welcome from ECTs as well as experienced teachers. The benefits package includes free on-site parking; access to an on-site gym and an on-site nursery.

This school and Hampshire County Council are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Check as well as other relevant pre-employment checks.
