Job overview
TEACHER OF GEOGRAPHY (Part time)
We are looking to appoint a resilient, ambitious, creative and committed teacher to support the young people of the Academy.
Geography is offered to all students at Key Stage Three, Key Stage Four (Edexcel B specification) and at Key Stage 5,] as part of the International Baccalaureate Careers Related Programme (IBCP). Geography lessons are taught as part of the Humanities curriculum which is housed in its own wing of the Academy. Upper School students are taught within this environment whilst Year 7 are taught in the Da Vinci space, a separate area for the majority of Year 7 teaching.
Geography plays an integral role in the delivery of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (Years 7-9) which puts developing the student as a global citizen in an ever-changing world at the heart of learning. Students are taught an exciting curriculum which focuses on developing knowledge of human and physical Geography as well as develop key foundational skills which will help them succeed at GCSE. The International Baccalaureate Learner Profile is threaded through the curriculum and seeks to develop learners as: knowledgeable, reflective, thinkers, caring, inquirers, open-minded, communicators, balanced, risk takers and principled.
Learning beyond the classroom
Year 10 students complete urban fieldwork as part of the GCSE curriculum in London and study coastal management and processes at Eastbourne. This provides students with opportunities to apply what they are learning to real life contexts and build key skills needed for further study and employment. The department also runs Eco Club with the aim of raising the profile of climate change and promoting sustainability within the Academy. Empowering young people to voice their opinion on key issues and take action is integral to our vision and we will continue to strive for excellence in enriching the educational experience for all of our students and look forward to building our team with inspiring teachers who can bring Geography to life.
We offer:
- An exciting and vibrant place of work
- Gym Facilities
- Local Authority Reward Scheme
- High Quality Continued Professional Development
