Head of Geography

A new 4-16 years all through school opened in Aldershot in April 2017. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher with a passion for Geography to join us on our secondary site teaching pupils 11-16 years from January 2018.

A highly motivated, enthusiastic and appropriately qualified teacher is required to lead and further develop the department. We are looking for:

· An excellent leader with innovative practice 

· A teacher who is ambitious for all pupils

· Experience of planning fieldwork

· The ability to contribute to the wider curriculum

Our pupils enjoy an extensive range of extra-curricular activities and in collaboration with our on-site Leisure Centre we are able to offer a varied evening programme for all age ranges. We have high expectations of all our pupils and provide them with excellent academic and pastoral support. Located in Aldershot we are 30 miles from London and easily accessible from the A3/A31 and M3.

Alderwood School and Hampshire County Council are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Criminal Records Bureau checks along with other relevant employment checks.
