Job Description
Are you an enthusiastic and committed Teacher of Geography looking to make an impact on young people’s lives?
King Edward VI Lordswood School for Girls is seeking to appoint someone who believes passionately about making a difference to the lives of every student and who does so with integrity, humility and relentless positivity.
The successFul candidate will work as part of a strong team and will be willing to participate in all aspects of school life including support for extracurricular clubs, events and trips. The post is suitable for a current classroom teacher or for an Early Career Teacher.
We are looking for a teacher with infectious enthusiasm and excellent communication skills with an ability to develop and maintain positive relationships with students, colleagues and parents. Extracurricular opportunities are a key part of school life and the successful candidate will play a key role in providing opportunities for students beyond the classroom.
Geography is a popular subject and the geography curriculum at LSG aims to equip students with the knowledge required to become global citizens, enabling them to critically engage with significant global issues and debates. Our curriculum fosters a love of learning that encourages students to pursue their geographical education and ‘think like a geographer’. The geography department is a small but experienced team and the subject is offered at both GCSE and A Level. We are a well resourced department and we share centralised resources to support planning for all staff. The department values fieldwork as a crucial component of geography, and we are proud to offer a variety of fieldwork experiences for all pupils. KS3 students practice fieldwork techniques through on site investigations, whilst KS4 and KS5 students partake in various day trips to human and physical environments such as Carding Mill Valley and Stratford upon Avon.
In return we are offering the successful candidate the opportunity to work in a thriving community, composed of kind and respectful students who are dedicated to their learning and colleagues who are caring, compassionate and committed. Staff and students have extremely positive relationships underpinned by our school value of ‘respect’. We are a happy and caring school which values and takes pride in diversity and celebrates individuality.
If our vision and values match your own philosophy, we would welcome an application.
