ECT Teacher of Geography (Full Time)

ECT (Fringe) £33,075

Required from September 2025

We seek applications from those of the Catholic faith, all faiths and of no faith but who are supportive of our Christian values and ethos.

Are you a dedicated educator looking to start your teaching career as an ECT in Geography?

Do you aspire to teach in an Outstanding school, with a proven record for quality of education and behaviour?

Can you see yourself working in a location ideally placed for access to Stansted Airport, London and Cambridge and the Home Counties? 

Rated by Ofsted in October 2024 as Outstanding in the Quality of Education and Behaviour and Attitudes and by a s48 inspection in January 2025 as ‘Good’ in all areas with ‘Outstanding’ judgement in quality of provision for the Catholic life and mission of the school, this truly is a unique place for starting your career in teaching Religious Education. 

Students must choose to study either Geography or History at GCSE and Geography is popular at both GCSE and A Level, with a number of students going on to study Geography or related subjects  at university every year.

As an ECT, you will benefit from a comprehensive induction programme designed to support your professional growth and development. According to Ofsted, “It is a very special community to be a part of.’  We think so too! Can you see yourself as part of our school community?

We take our shared values of Love-Respect-Flourish to the heart of our ethos for pupils and staff. You will be part of a school which has a tremendously talented, committed, creative, and innovative staff; parents who are supportive; and students who are eager to learn, well behaved and motivated to succeed. 

We have a strong record of supporting ECT’s with regular cohorts and staff are passionately committed to developing staff and managing workload. As Ofsted noted, “The energy, determination and tenacity of school leaders and the Trust are bringing about effective and sustained improvements for pupils”.
