We require a Head of Department who is passionate about providing young people with the best possible education whatever their background or ability. At GCSE, we teach AQA Geography and we have developed a focused curriculum from Year 7 to Year 11, which prepares students well for the rigours of their GCSE courses and life beyond the academy. Our curriculum focuses on the 5 core concepts of Geography; sustainability, human and physical interactions, physical processes, climate change and development.

This position includes a responsibility for leading our KS3 Life programme. This curriculum covers Religious Education, Citizenship, PSHE and RSE as well as responding to the relevant and emerging needs of our students. SMSC development and an appreciation of British values are integral parts of academy life, but are also addressed more frequently and in more detail in Life lessons
