What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Subject Leader of Geography to join our outstanding school in January 2027. The appointed teacher will need to be able to teach Geography at KS3, KS4 and KS5. A passionate interest in the subject and a keen interest in leading on fieldwork and trips are essential requirements. Geography is a popular subject at both GCSE and A level, with pupils consistently achieving excellent results. The curriculum area of Human, Social, and Political Studies (HSPS) is a dynamic, forward thinking area that strives to deliver quality first teaching to all our pupils. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious professional to gain teaching experience at a truly innovative and successful academy.
What the school offers its staff
In 2007, Belvedere was the first independent school to become an academy and is continuing the traditions and standards of its predecessor school. We have high expectations of all our students and we support them with excellent pastoral care. Our extensive Enrichment programme allows pupils to develop into well rounded individuals. In March 2025, Ofsted judged us Outstanding in Behaviour and Attitudes and in Personal Development. We were delighted that they recognised how our “ambitious” curriculum inspired our pupils to be, “ambitious for their futures” within an “inclusive” community in which pupils “can be themselves”.
Children of our staff have a higher priority in our Y7 admissions process - please see the Admissions Policy on our website or call the academy office for further details.
