What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a passionate and motivated Geography specialist to join our vibrant Humanities and Enterprise Faculty.
Geography is a thriving subject at Fitzharrys, popular at GCSE and A Level. Students enjoy field trips from Year 7 onwards, in the local area and further afield. The successful candidate will teach A Level Geography. The Geography department has a well-established close partnership with local schools including those within the trust and schools within the OX14 partnership. This provides us with the chance to share resources, ideas and field trip opportunities.
You will be joining a vibrant, creative and experienced team in a key faculty. The Humanities and Enterprise Faculty brings together Business Studies, Geography, History, Religious Studies and Sociology, subjects enjoyed by students and integral to the life of Fitzharrys.
Our collaborative ethos of Aspiration, Opportunity and Integrity are at the heart of Fitzharrys’ sustained success. We are a good school (Ofsted, June 2016) with strong results that improve year on year. Ofsted praised our “warm and welcoming culture with a shared drive for continual improvement”. This is a very special place, and we are looking for the right candidate who is excited at the prospect of joining us and taking such a key role in our continued success in Geography.
