Corfe Hills is a high performing school, having made excellent progress in recent years. We are determined not to stand still, but ambitious to ensure that our improvement continues on the same trajectory in the coming years.
This is a fabulous opportunity join our highly successful geography department, whose work in the last few years has facilitated rapid improvement in progress and uptake (3 Year 10 GCSE classes next year). Geography at KS5 too is becoming increasingly popular, with 16 students currently likely to start the ‘A’ level course in September. The team comprises of the Head of subject and one other specialist geography teacher.
We are seeking an enthusiastic, well qualified and ambitious person to teach geography across the full ability range at Corfe Hills School and across all key stages. As a classroom practitioner you would need to demonstrate exceptional classroom practice and be able to motivate and inspire students. This will involve 100% commitment to our vision which is captured in our strapline “High Expectations | Exceptional Individuals”.
This is a part time vacancy (approximately 0.6 FTE) and we can be flexible about the hours for the right candidate. We are keen to work with the successful candidate to find a timetable which will be mutually beneficial.
Teaching and Learning
Teaching and Learning is at the heart of all that we do and our personalised professional development programme is centred around our Principles of Teaching that have been shaped by research from, among others, Barak Rosenshine, John Hattie and Doug Lemov. We also follow a lesson structure shaped around these principles that liberates and enables students to Learn to the Max every lesson. We are committed to regular developmental lesson visits and coaching conversations as part of our shared commitment to developing as practitioners.
The Curriculum
The school operates a 50 period two week timetable. In Year 9, students are taught geography for 3 hours per fortnight and this rises to 5 hours in Years 10 and 11. A-level students are taught for 9 hours per fortnight.
Our Facilities
The classrooms within the Humanities area of the school will be reconfigured as part of a £3 million refurbishment grant. This will mean specialist, spacious and up-to-date classrooms will replace our already good facilities. In addition, humanities teachers share a large faculty room that provides both work and recreational space. The school’s wireless network is very robust and enables students and staff also have remote access to the school’s network, their files and relevant software.
