About us
At The Halifax Academy we have the courage to do things differently. Our ground-breaking approach to education takes children through five phases from Reception to Year 11, creating a fully integrated school journey from ages 4-16. This is your chance to join a friendly, community-focused through school and founding Academy of the Impact Education Trust, helping us to shape the future of education.
This position offers the right candidate an opportunity to help pupils develop excellent knowledge and skills in Geography. They will help design and further embed a range of activities and experiences that assist our students in becoming confident individuals. At the heart of our curriculum is a focus on social justice for the most vulnerable families and pupils, so that they realize their ‘voice to change the world’.
As Teacher of Geography, you will have an opportunity to shape practice, working across all phases alongside the Director and other key leaders. The faculty is a high-performing team with strong values, work ethic, and mutual sense of purpose and with a strong record of delivering results. The team cares about the little things, enjoys learning together, and shares unrelentingly high standards. You will have access to a highly regarded professional development programme; we are incredibly proud that our school has been awarded the Investors in People Platinum Award – the only through school in the country to attain this level.
The successful candidate might be an aspiring teacher looking for their first position leading a subject or a current leader seeking a new and slightly different challenge. What matters is your mindset. We are looking for someone who can bring something special to our school. Someone who has the courage to change the way they do things, who is itching to innovate the way we approach the curriculum and teaching and learning; someone constantly curious, self-reflective, eager to explore collaborations and to experiment with classroom practice.
