We are looking for a
well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher of geography to join our highly
successful Geography Department. The successful
candidate will be expected to be able to teach geography at key stages 3 and 4.
In geography, students are taught in groups without any setting. The curriculum is designed to be relevant and engaging. The department follows the national curriculum at Key Stage 3, the Edexcel B specification at GCSE and the Edexcel specification at A level. Uptake in the subject is high and attainment is excellent. In 2023, 51% of students achieved a grade 9 at GCSE and 94% of students achieved grades 7-9. At A level, 84% of students achieved grades A*-B.
The Geography
Department is housed in a contemporary building, where it has three dedicated
teaching rooms and shares an office with the History Department. Each teaching room has a computer and a data
projector.
The department integrates a wide range of fieldwork into the curriculum. Key Stage 3 includes fieldtrips to North Wales and Salford Quays. GCSE includes a two-day residential to the Lake District and a day trip to Manchester, and A Level includes a four-day residential trip to North Yorkshire. The department is also running a five-day fieldtrip to Iceland in the October half-term break.
We are open, supportive and flexible with high-quality CPD opportunities through our Teaching School Hubs and Professional Development Institute.
