Head of Geography

Croydon High School presents an excellent opportunity for a talented teacher of Geography to take leadership of a flourishing department and drive it through the next phase of its development.  

As Head of Geography, you will take overall responsibility for the professional leadership and management of the department, ensuring high standards of teaching and learning are delivered, resources are used efficiently and effectively and the curriculum is managed and developed in accordance with school policy. 

Geography is a popular subject throughout the school with pupils achieving excellent results. The department boasts regular Geography fieldtrips either locally (to Boxhill or Shoreditch) and further afield to places like Somerset and the department also has a rich co-curricular offer with an array of competitions and initiatives alongside clubs such as Geocaching. 

If you have experience of teaching Geography up to A level and can use your passion for education to inspire, motivate and support pupils, we would love to hear from you.
