Job overview
We are an 11-18 academy based just north of the large, friendly, South Yorkshire town of Doncaster.
We have been a member of the Outwood Family since 2009, and in our 2023 Ofsted inspection the academy was graded Good in all categories. The inspection noted ‘the school has a supportive and caring culture. Staff build arm and friendly relationships with pupils. Pupils achieve their full potential. Staff are proud to work at the school’.
We offer a holistic education that makes learning stimulating, engaging and enjoyable for every student.
The inspectors were equally complimentary about our sixth form provision, with a wide range of courses on offer; including A Levels, vocational qualifications and T-levels.
We have also won numerous awards as a school and we have been accredited with the prestigious IQM Award, in addition to being an IQM Centre of Excellence for 3 years, which highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are also proud to have been awarded Silver Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.
We work hard to ensure we reduce workload on staff, allowing more time in the classroom to put our vision of students first, raising standards and transforming lives into practice.
If you share our vision, join our family.
We are seeking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic Geography Teacher. Full-time or part-time applications will be considered. An excellent knowledge and understanding of the subject is essential. You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’.
The humanities team at Adwick is a large team of over 10 subject specialists, delivering History, Geography, RE/Life, Psychology and Criminology. Our team thrives on its ability to build knowledge, develop skills and instil a passion and desire to learn more and more about the world around them.
CPD is incredibly important in our team, both focussed on our subject areas through OGAT subject director training and also through whole school teaching and learning.
At Key stage 3, both History and Geography are taught for 1 hour in Y7 and 2 hours in both Y8 and Y9, and Life is taught Y7-10 for 1 hour a week. Both subjects are popular options at GCSE.
We have worked hard to develop our curriculum at key stage 3 to create an engaging and knowledge-rich programme of study.
In Geography, we go beyond the national curriculum and deliver our curriculum through 5 geography concepts of physical processes, human development, interactions, climate change and sustainability.
Life lessons encompass PSHE, citizenship and religious education, taught by a wide team of specialists.
