What skills and experience we're looking for
The Geography department is made up of a strong team of specialist teachers. It is a popular subject at both KS4 and KS5 and results have been strong over a number of years. We are looking for an inspiring Head of Geography who is keenly interested in how young people learn, committed to high standards in teaching and learning and can help to take the Geography department to even greater things. Your level of experience is less important to us than your willingness to learn and your drive and determination to improve outcomes and provision for young people.
