Teacher of Geography

Chichester High School

Teacher of Geography 

(this post would suit an NQT or there could be an additional TLR for additional responsibilities)

Required for April 2020

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly, experienced and motivated department within a popular and thriving ‘Good’ (OfSTED 2019) High School.  You will be working with a team who are dedicated, passionate and determined to deliver high standards to all of its learners.

The Geography team includes a wide range of experience and teaching styles; each member is ‘outstanding’ in their own individual way.  We are united by a passion for our subject, the ability to inspire across the ability and age range and, very importantly, a sense of humour.

As Department leader, I frequently visit and observe the learning within my department.  I expect to see pupils who discuss, argue and debate.  I expect to see pupils excited, involved, engaged and challenged - unafraid of taking risks.  I expect pupils to be engrossed and positively active.  I expect to see pupils succeeding independently or in groups.  Within our department, we aim to inspire pupils to achieve their true potential and instil within them, a powerful sense of self-belief.

The successful candidate will therefore need to be dynamic, determined and show firmness of purpose.

Do you feel ready and able to join our team?
