Applicants should be able and willing to teach Geography from KS3 up to A Level standard. Experience of the International Baccalaureate is desirable though not essential.

The Geography department consists of three teaching members of staff. The subject is taught at KS3, GCSE, A Level and at standard and higher level within the context of the IBDP. Few Schools in the UK can boast a more engaging environment/landscape within which to teach this subject. Field study trips constitute an important aspect of the department’s activities and more recently trips further afield have included the Bay of Naples which was especially popular. The department also contributes to the delivery of Standard Level IBDP course - Environmental Systems and Societies.

The department is accommodated at the heart of the school site with four dedicated Geography classrooms. The department is well resourced, with a wide range of digital resources, including SMART TVs in each classroom, and the use of ICT in teaching is enabled and encouraged and all pupils have access to a learning device in the lesson.

Pupils at Rossall enjoy Geography, and a significant proportion choose to continue to study it in the Sixth Form. An encouraging number of students go on to study Geography and related subjects at universities across the UK and the rest of the World.
