What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a committed and inspirational Geography teacher to join our Humanities Team from September 2024.
The Geography Team is collaborative and all teachers are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the topics taught across Key stages 3 to 5. Our core purpose is to fully engage all our students and ignite their curiosity and determination so they can achieve their full potential.
Staff have a wealth of experiences and interests, which bring many dimensions to the provision of excellent lessons as well as skills and support for a new colleague! We have enjoyed excellent results at both GCSE and A-level and Key Stage 3 proves a popular launchpad for strong progress and uptake in History. Enabling students into Higher Education with confidence is a strength. A healthy approach to broader, innovative ways to enhance learning is encouraged, and trips and out of class enrichment activities add to this.
We welcome applications from creative and dynamic teachers who can contribute to this vision. Although the ideal candidate will have a proven track record of excellent teaching and learning, we also welcome applications from ECTs.
What the school offers its staff
Staff will benefit from a positive working environment, with strong support for professional development and specialist teaching rooms. We aim for high standards and the pursuit of academic excellence, helping every student to reach their full potential through the development of skills, concepts and knowledge, within the framework of a caring community. Relationships between staff and students are based on trust, mutual respect and a determination to succeed.
