Are you interested in delivering a high-quality geography education that inspires curiosity and fascination about the world? Are you knowledgeable about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments? Do you have a passion which drives you to educate young people so that they can explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and how they change over time? If so, read on.

Burscough Priory Academy joined the Endeavour Learning Trust in September 2018 and has thrived as part of a successful family of schools. Our students are hardworking, enthusiastic and keen to work with the staff to get the very best out of every day at school. Since 2018, there has been rapid and sustained improvement, recognised by Ofsted in November 2022 when were judged a ‘Good’ school. Our staff are wholly optimistic, completely committed and work as one in the spirit of E Pluribus Unum.

For our staff, we are firmly committed to ensuring this is a job that can be enjoyed, where everyone can flourish because we pay close attention to work/life balance. Across the Trust, we continue to develop strategies that take a common-sense approach to those aspects of the role that could become an unnecessary burden on workload - these include feedback, marking and centralised detentions.

Our Teaching School is the beating heart of our Trust and from right across the Trust our teachers learn together. They share their practice, encourage and support each other to get the best out of the working day. The candidate will have opportunities to work with other colleagues in the Teaching School to support the development of the curriculum and teaching in Geography across our family of schools.

In our schools we have a relentless focus on excellence, expect the highest standards of behaviour but we have a pragmatic emphasis on the balance between challenge and support, high expectation and nurture. And this counts for students and staff, teaching and non-teaching, so that our schools develop a family ethos, where everyone wants the best for everyone else.

In our team, our teachers are committed to continuously improving the classroom experience of our students with a genuine desire to improve their life chances.
