Job overview
Teacher of Geography
Required from September 2018 Outer London Pay Scale
Woodcote High School has long been a top choice for parents in the Coulsdon & Purley area of South London and is heavily over-subscribed. Located in a pleasant suburban setting on the borders of Surrey, Sutton and Croydon, the school has a rural feel but is officially in the Outer London salary band.
Judged “good” by Ofsted in January 2015 in all areas and reaffirmed in March 2018, inspectors praised our students as “courteous, respectful and keen to talk about their achievements.”
GCSE results are way above average and in 2017. The school achieved a Progress 8 score of +0.25. A Level results are improving rapidly and the 2018 inspection noted that “Strong leadership, positive relationships and high-quality teaching are contributing to the growing success of your sixth form.”
Consistently one of Croydon’s top performing schools, teachers rate Woodcote as an enjoyable place to work due to the “fabulous students and supportive colleagues”.
This is a terrific opportunity for an innovative teacher to join our forward-looking and successful Geography Department and to help shape the future of the department whilst gaining valuable experience to support your future career ambitions.
Applications are welcome from both experienced Geography teachers and NQT’s who are ambitious to progress further.

About Woodcote High School
Since opening in 1957, Woodcote High School has constantly evolved and grown, whilst remaining at the forefront of educational developments in the area.
Exam results have for many years exceeded national and local averages, delivering a positive Progress 8 score. Other landmark achievements over recent years include significant building projects, the opening of a Sixth Form at the School, the opening of an international standard athletics facility (Track Coulsdon, in conjunction with South London Harriers and other funding partners) and the establishment of the Enhanced Learning Provisionfor mobility impaired students.
Woodcote is a busy community, with lots to offer our students. We encourage students to develop enquiring minds that in turn increases their enthusiasm for enrichment both in and out of the classroom. Those interested in music and performance deliver great seasonal productions, and benefit from a wide range of individual music tuition. Our world-class Track Coulsdon is at the heart of our great sport and PE facilities, and we have a full range of extra-curricular sport.
In the Sixth Form, in addition to the whole school enrichment programme, students have the opportunity to stand for student leadership positions, take part in charity events and lead assemblies for raising awareness on subjects they are passionate about. We also run a series of events where guest speakers are invited into school to speak to the student body.
