Icknield High School is a highly successful multi-cultural 11-16 Academy, situated on the northern side of town.  We are justifiably proud of our excellent reputation and believe that we offer both students and staff a caring environment in which they can succeed. 

 We are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified, ambitious and motivated Geography Teacher to join our team.

 Our well-developed Geography curriculum is based around six themes; human, physical, skills, biomes, weather & climate and places.  Students explore the interactions between these key themes as they progress through our well-resourced and developed curriculum.  Students show a high level of interest in the subject and Geography is one of our most popular option subject choices, with over 150 students taking it as a GCSE option each year.

 Our friendly and committed team of geography teachers, have a passion for ensuring a relevant and up to date geography curriculum.  Fieldwork is valued within the department and is included within our curriculum at KS3 and KS4 through a coastal study at Southend-on-Sea, urban study of Luton and fieldwork within the school grounds.  Further enrichment has been offered through involvement within DofE, participation in local Climate Change conferences, visits to Cadbury World and a residential to Italy.

 The successful candidate will have a passion for Geography, be able to display and promote excellence in teaching and learning, and have the potential to make a real difference to the outcomes of our students.  A willingness to teach a second humanities subject at KS3 would be beneficial.
