We are looking for an inspirational teacher who meets the Teacher Standards, with the ability to create a nurturing learning environment, together with a committed to bringing out the best in every student.
The successful candidate will teach Geography to KS3 and KS4 in the first instance with the potential for teaching KS5. Geography is not only up-to-date and relevant, it is one of the most exciting, adventurous and valuable subjects to study today.

This post would be suitable for ECTs, as the department has close links with a number of ITT providers, and experience in mentoring colleagues new to the profession.

In addition it was rightly observed that our students feel safe, and are safe, in school. This is achieved by the school’s culture of care and vigilance. All staff are firmly committed to ensuring that every student achieves their full potential.
Our fantastic report is a real vindication of our drive to develop confident, well informed and caring young adults who have self- belief and fully participate in their local, national and international communities; the school provides a wealth of additional opportunities for students to achieve these aims.
