Job overview

We are looking to appoint an inspirational, professional and dynamic teacher to join our geography team from September 2024. You will be passionate about your subject, and an engaging and an enthusiastic classroom practitioner. 

You’ll be joining the department at an exciting time as the improvements we are making are gaining momentum. Geography is taught as a discrete subject to all pupils in Years 7-9 and is a popular option at GCSE. We also offer geography at A Level.

In return, we offer professional support and career development opportunities. We recognise and value continued professional development and as such, training opportunities will be made available to you throughout your career with us. We welcome applications from Early Careers Teachers.

We exist to empower our students to find their purpose, develop high aspirations and thrive both academically and personally, to be the best that they can be. We provide a knowledge-rich curriculum which exposes students to powerful knowledge, places them on an ambitious pathway and develops the character traits needed to seize the opportunities that exist. Our core purpose is not merely finite ‘success’ for our students but for them to thrive - continually grow and flourish.

We are explicit about the culture we want to create and have clear ideas of the desired behaviours necessary for our students to succeed. At Glossopdale School, we maintain a relentless focus on the day-to-day actions, behaviours and routines within the school and adopt a disciplined approach to teaching students the right and successful ways to do things. 

While with us, we encourage every member of staff to stretch themselves and we give everyone access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities. We are a research-based school with the aim to develop highly effective evidence-based practices including teaching, learning and assessment, where we collaborate as a whole staff to persistently improve our pedagogy and where we evaluate our practice habitually.

We have some of the best facilities in the area having fully rebuilt our school in 2018. This not only provides both staff and students with everything they can expect for modern teaching and learning, but also gives us exceptional environmental credentials.

The TRUE Learning Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and preventing extremism; all staff must ensure that the highest priority is given to following the guidance and regulations to safeguard children and young people.

The successful candidate will be required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and obtain any other statutorily required clearance including an online check. Employment will also be conditional on the receipt of at least two acceptable references (one of which must be from the current/latest employer) and evidence of the formal qualifications required for the role.

Our School is a warm and caring community for all students. We celebrate diversity and believe strongly in providing an environment where all young people thrive.

Our core purpose is to support students of all abilities and backgrounds to develop high aspirations and achieve their potential. We encourage all students to work hard and aim high in order to succeed both academically and personally.

We nurture and build ambition for our students. Whilst your children grow into young people with us, we will open opportunities, broaden horizons and introduce challenges ensuring that in our five years together they are becoming the best that they can be.

We fully recognise that students have different interests, dreams, abilities and needs and our school’s broad and flexible curriculum reflects this. Staff are qualified and experienced in ensuring that students achieve their full potential regardless of their starting points. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum from Year 7 through to Year 13. Our curriculum extends beyond the classroom and our students are encouraged to participate in many other learning experiences that do not begin and end on the bell.

All students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and conduct. Discipline in the school is clear and consistent to ensure an orderly and effective learning environment in which we expect high standards of work, behaviour and uniform.

We are in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, within easy commuting distance for Manchester and Sheffield.  We have strong Community links with Glossop and Hadfield and excellent links with community providers.

Excellent career development opportunities.
