History Teacher / ECT

Job Details

History Teacher / ECT
London
£40,317 – £62,496 (Inner London MPS/UPS)
Full-Time | Permanent | September Start

Some schools teach History. Others bring it to life. This London secondary school falls firmly into the second category — and they’re now looking for a History Teacher or ECT who can do more than deliver content… someone who can tell stories, challenge perspectives, and spark debate.

Picture this: A Year 9 class arguing over the causes of World War I. A Year 11 student staying behind to ask another question about civil rights. A Sixth Form group dissecting interpretations like undergraduates. That’s the kind of classroom you’ll be stepping into.

KPI Education are working with a well-respected, ambitious school in London that places real value on Humanities. History isn’t sidelined here — it’s a subject that students choose, enjoy, and succeed in.

What’s Different About This Role?

• History has strong uptake at GCSE and A-Level
• Students are encouraged to think, question, and challenge — not just memorise
• Schemes of work are well-resourced but not restrictive
• A department culture built on discussion, collaboration, and academic rigour
• Leadership that gives you the space to teach with personality and depth

The Role

Yes, you’ll teach KS3 and KS4 (KS5 if you want it). But more importantly, you’ll:

• Create lessons that students actually remember
• Bring historical events into modern-day relevance
• Challenge students to form opinions — and defend them
• Play a part in shaping a department that’s continuing to grow

Who This Will Suit

• A History specialist (ECTs very welcome)
• Someone who enjoys the subject — and makes that obvious in their teaching
• A teacher who isn’t afraid to ask “why?” and push students to do the same
• Energy, presence, and the ability to hold a room
