About the School
Weydon School is a large, ambitious and outstanding school in an unspoilt area of Surrey within easy reach of London. We are the lead School for the Weydon Multi Academy Trust, comprising of ourselves, Woolmer Hill School, Rodborough School, Farnham Heath End School, Frogmore Community College, Eggar’s School plus many Special and Primary schools with more coming soon. The close proximity of these schools allows lots of opportunities for staff collaboration. The Times frequently rates Weydon School in the top 10 across the UK for 11-16 schools, and achievements across the school are exceptional. It has been said that we have grammar school outcomes and independent sector facilities; our ongoing and recent successes clearly demonstrate this.
About the role
Geography is incredibly popular at Weydon, with over 60% of students now regularly selecting it as one of their GCSE options each year. Aside from the quality of in-class provision, we also run a range of field trips, including internationally to Iceland or Sicily, a GCSE residential to Dorset and day trips to the Surrey Hills, London and Winchester. Geography is part of the wider Humanities faculty alongside History, RE and PSHE. This wider team is incredibly supportive, experienced and approachable.
