Job overview

This is a great opportunity to lead the Geography Department in a highly successful academy. 

Geography is a very popular subject at GCSE and the Geography department is a well-resourced department comprising a dedicated team of colleagues of various levels of experience and backgrounds, committed to ensuring the highest possible learning experience to the students at Moor End Academy. 

The Geography department currently consists of three teachers. The Geography department is supported by an administrative assistant and all rooms have their own interactive whiteboards. Geography is part of the core curriculum in years 7 – 9 and is taught as a discrete subject. In years 10 and 11 students follow the AQA syllabus Geography course. The department is committed to teaching geographical concepts and issues through high quality and exciting teaching and learning strategies. As part of the EBACC, all students study GCSE Geography or GCSE History (half each) in Years 9, 10 and 11. 

The Academy is accredited by the Edward de Bono Foundation as an official Centre for Creative and Critical Thinking and these skills are at the centre of our teaching. Students enjoy Geography and they respond positively to our imaginative and stimulating approach. 

This is a great opportunity for you to come in with some creative, imaginative ideas to help build a curriculum that supports progress from Year 7 through to Year 11 within the eBacc curriculum. Learning outside the classroom is a big focus of Geography and field trips provide an ideal opportunity to show our students real Geography.

 As subject leader for Geography in an Outstanding Academy, a wealth of opportunities for personal and professional development will be open to you. Moor End Academy is a fantastic place to work and Geography plays an important part of this, we never stand still, constantly looking at ways to improve and offer our students the best learning experience we can.

Moor End is a converter Academy that opened on 17th August 2011. We converted as an outstanding school. Prior to this we were a community school. Moor End is a National Support school.  We play a leading role in the training and professional development of teachers and contribute towards the raising of standards across the school system through school to school support.

We are an award winning Academy and have continued to be recognised by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’.  We are a truly inclusive school that welcomes students of all abilities. Our aim is to create a safe, stimulating, ambitious and caring environment to enable our students to thrive and achieve excellence; to make certain our future generation have the self-confidence to use their talents and skills to become the leaders of tomorrow.

Our vision is to maximise every child’s potential to ensure we can confidently say,” we gave every student his or her GCSE passport to success.” We passionately believe, as educators, we have the power and responsibility to inspire our students to be the best they can be to enable our learners to pursue their dreams and become the leaders of tomorrow.

Our motivation is to ensure that positive relationships are at the core of what we do every day, along with high quality teaching and pastoral care overseen by strong leadership. What we believe will follow is a strong ethos, and students with high expectations who demonstrate exceptional behaviour and want to be part of our school community.

We insist on high standards of behaviour, appearance, work ethic and respect for all to enable our staff to teach our students well so they learn to the best of their ability and leave the Academy with a first-class education.

Central to our ethos is the promotion of our ‘every day’ 3 Core Values: Respect, Ambition and Responsibility, which underpin everything we do on a daily basis.

1.  Respect

We are well behaved and considerate to all staff and students in our learning community.

2.  Ambition

We are hardworking and have an ambitious attitude to succeed and achieve.

3.  Responsibility

We take ownership and act with integrity; we always do the right thing.

We want to expand our family of committed and skilled people, who will directly benefit the future of the next generation. If you wish to discuss any of the opportunities we have on offer, please contact us at jharrison@edu.moorend.org or call 01484 222230.

We look forward to hearing from you.
