We are seeking to appoint a Head of Department who will head a thriving department of teachers teaching from Year 7 through to A-Level. The Head of History will lead and direct exceptional History curriculum provision at Godolphin, and inspire excellent performance from the students, and dedication and hard work from their team. The Head of Department would coordinate, develop and contribute to the extra-curricular provision for History and the humanities more broadly.
The syllabus for the lower school covers a broad range of British and world history, and is designed to engender a keen interest in history and to develop the students’ analytical and evaluative skills. Years 10 and 11 study IGCSE History (covering International Relations, 1919-45; the Cold War; and Germany, 1918-45), and our sixth formers study OCR A-level History. The History Department has organised a range of popular trips for different year groups, including trips to the First World War battlefields, Paris and Versailles, the Mary Rose, and the Chalke Valley History Festival.
