What can a history teacher expect in Cambridge?
History is all around Cambridge schools, from the medieval colleges and the Round Church to the American Cemetery at Madingley and the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. Oliver Cromwell was MP for Cambridge, and Alan Turing, who studied at King's College, links the city to the codebreakers of the Second World War.
The village colleges have their own story too. Sawston Village College, opened in 1930, was the first of Henry Morris's village colleges, an idea that shaped community education across England.
History is a popular GCSE and A level choice in Cambridge, and departments look for teachers who can build strong source analysis and extended writing. Teachers who can also cover geography or RE at KS3 are often in demand.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and teach history lessons across KS3 and KS4, and A level where needed
- Develop source analysis, interpretation and extended writing
