As Head of Geography, you will lead on all aspects of Geography teaching and will have specific responsibility for tracking the progress and attainment of students within the subject area and across the key stages. You will manage and develop a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum for the subject area. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on standards of student attainment and achievement through your fresh ideas, motivational skills and keen focus on improvement.

Our academy is driven by a forward thinking philosophy and a vibrant, positive culture. In a friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues, you’ll be able to make a real impact on our academy and on the lives of children across the country. We offer excellent opportunities for professional development to help you further your career and a supportive and friendly environment in which our staff have plenty of opportunity to grow and develop.

About You

You will have Qualified Teacher Status. You’re an inspiring practitioner with a proven track record of success within a secondary school setting. You will be a leader who will inspire students to achieve their full potential.

In return we are offering a highly attractive salary, along with the benefits of being part of United Learning, opportunities to share good practice and collaborate with colleagues across every phase of education.

United Learning

Kettering Buccleuch Academy is part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England.

Our schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. Our subject specialists, our Group-wide intranet, our own curriculum and our online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

As a Group, we can reward our staff better with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits and ultimately the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.
