What the school offers its staff
Geography Department
Thank you for your enquiry regarding our vacancy for a full-time Teacher of Geography, from September 2026.
Horndean Technology College is looking for a dynamic and proactive teacher with energy and a passion for Geography to join the department at a very exciting time.
The successful candidate will be hard working, well-qualified and will offer the teaching of Geography to both KS3 and KS4. The ultimate goal for the department is for all students to succeed and achieve excellence by acquiring a sound knowledge base of both human and physical Geography in order to explore and learn about the interconnectedness of our world’s changing places, processes, people and cultural capital. We aim to develop students that have enquiring minds, are able to develop skills and are equipped as global citizens to face the world in which they live. The team provides quality teaching and are committed to using innovative and creative approaches which include using a range of teaching and learning strategies to raise the achievement of students.
Geography is currently taught by three specialists in either a full-time or part-time capacity. The department is based in a suite of specialist rooms, as well as having the use of an IT suite. Geography is taught in mixed ability groups in Years 7 and 8, with students able to opt for subjects in Year 9. Geography remains one of the highest option subjects in Year 9 and 10. We also offer an early entry route to our Year 9 students. Our KS3 curriculum ensures all students are given the opportunity to access a broad and balanced curriculum. At GCSE, students are sitting the AQA specification.
The Department seek ways to embed Global Awareness across the College through the curriculum and pastoral care. Currently, extra-curricular activities and support are focused on revision; however, we would like to extend our extra-curricular offer in the future.
Staff new to the College are expected to take part in a comprehensive induction programme, designed to foster the common maintenance and development of the College’s ethos and practices.
