About this Role

Are you seeking a new professional challenge in an innovative, well supported environment? Are you a lifelong learner looking to model high aspirations and excellence to the community you serve? Are you relentless in your mission to improve and keen to support and challenge students and staff alike to become the best they can be? If so, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join us in our demanding mission to offer a first-class provision for our school community by raising Aspirations, instilling Resilience, creating Opportunities and securing both academic and personal Excellence. We are seeking a hardworking, committed practitioner to join us in our journey as together, we can change lives! 

 For September 2026, we require an inspirational and dedicated expert practitioner to teach and lead the Geography department as they look to progress further in their journey to excellence. The post is suitable for an experienced practitioner looking for the opportunity to develop further professionally, designed in collaboration with the expert colleagues already existing within the team. 

Our classrooms are happy learning environments, and we facilitate a growth mind set in our pupils, modelled by our ambitious, progressive staff body who benefit from an evidence-informed CPD package which is at the pinnacle of pedagogical development. 

 We encourage potential colleagues to visit our state of the art learning community, so you can see first-hand the vibrant and inclusive learning environment that we are proud to offer. We are confident that you will be impressed with our relentless commitment to providing our local community with opportunities for success both at Woodlands and in the wider world.

Compass Education Trust is currently engaged in discussions which are expected to result in the transfer of all schools to Harris Federation with effect from 1 September 2026. Any employment commencing from 1 September 2026 will not be directly impacted under TUPE, but if the proposed transfer proceeds, it is anticipated that your employment will commence with Harris Federation rather than Compass Education Trust. Further details will be discussed with you at the interview stage.

The school is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share in this commitment.
