What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint, commencing September 2023, an experienced and enthusiastic teacher of geography for a head of department maternity cover.

The Geography Department works as a close-knit group, sharing resources and strategies across all year groups. As you would expect, Geography is a very popular option at A-level and GCSE, and the head of Geography should be able to lead the department with passion and vision.
