What skills and experience we're looking for
Geography has grown in popularity in our Academy over the last couple of years and we are looking for an enthusiastic Teacher to help us meet that demand. Our Humanities team is dynamic and forward-thinking and works collaboratively to deliver meaningful and engaging content. This is brought to life through a wide range of activities including:

« Off-site trips – this year students had the opportunity to visit Bournemouth and Canary Wharf, with A’ level students developing their own knowledge and skills during a residential on the South Coast.
« Super Curricular Clubs – last term students chose ‘Prisoners of Geography’ as a focus for discussion, exploration and debate to take the subject further.
« Local university lecture and seminar attendance in response to an increasing interest in continuing with Geography beyond school.
