WHSB seeks a dynamic and enthusiastic Teacher of Geography. The School welcomes applications from both experienced teachers and graduates looking to train as a teacher.
The Geography Department at Westcliff High School for Boys (WHSB) has been a successful Department for many years, as exemplified by its outstanding GCSE and Advanced Level results. The subject is increasingly popular at GCSE with 250 pupils in the Middle School and over 50 A Level Geography students in the Sixth Form.
The Department offers a variety of fieldwork opportunities, extracurricular trips (such as a visit to Norway in 2024) and additional clubs which support and extend learning for students. The Department is assisted by a number of Sixth Form Subject Prefects who contribute to a growing mentoring programme and a Geography Society.
Results in all Public Examinations are outstanding and those who choose to continue their Geography studies beyond School generally do so at established Universities. In Summer 2024, at GCSE, 79% of pupils at WHSB attained Grades 9-7 (19% at Grade 9). At Advanced Level, 86% of students achieved A*-B (14% at A*).
