We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed teacher to join our dedicated and mutually supportive team of humanities teachers. This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious newly qualified geography teacher to gain their first post, or for an experienced teacher.
This is a full time maternity cover post, from September 2019. This is a high achieving school that is imaginative and creative in its approach to teaching and learning and is keen to look for continued and sustained improvement. We benefit from a wonderful rural setting, surrounded by beautiful and historic countryside. The majority of our students live in nearby villages, and thrive in our supportive, positive, nurturing environment, achieving academic excellence for all.
We are fully committed to providing high quality education for children whatever their age. We are at an exciting phase in our development where we are forming the Equa Multi Academy Trust with local rural primary schools to provide an all through education system. In addition, we opened our doors to our first cohort of sixth form students this September. This is in collaboration with Devizes sixth form.
