Description

Geography Department at St Bede's
We have a vacancy for a Head of Geography to join us from September 2023.

At Key Stage 5 the department presently teaches the Edexcel syllabus. This syllabus is modern and linked to the full range of global issues and challenges facing the world today. There are 33 and 23 students in Years 12 and 13 respectively this year.

Presently, the field-trips for this course include A Level trips to Dorset and an optional visit to The Azores at Easter.

The geography department has five full-time members of staff.

It is based in five dedicated rooms, two of which are in a purpose-built block and the other three, close by, have been refurbished.

There is a department office for all departmental staff and three stock rooms.

Each teaching room is linked to both the internet and school network, as well as having the use of a projector.

Increasing use is being made of the school online portal to place resources accessible to students. Our focus in this has been on the new A Level syllabuses and Year 11 revision sheets.

The department also supports cross curricular activities in the school, for instance taking part in the Year 8 electives, 'Hidden Geography' and 'Cities of the Future'.

Why work for us?

St Bede's is a good place to work.

Staff are friendly and supportive of one another:
relationships between staff and pupils were recognised by Ofsted as 'exceptionally strong'.

ECTs benefit from a well developed and comprehensive induction period programme. More experienced teachers are given the opportunity to participate in training which will help them to develop skills needed for middle and senior management roles.
There are good onsite catering facilities. Staff are able to use the fitness facilities free of charge and to participate in sports activities.
Music is a big part of school life and staff are welcome to join our senior choir and instrumental groups.
We have a social event at the end of each term as well as occasional staff trips to the theatre.
The school is situated in Redhill, a commuter belt town in the Surrey Fringe area. We are close to the M25 and there are good transport links to London and the South Coast from Redhill station which is about 15 minutes walk from the school. We also benefit from being within walking distance of beautiful countryside. Many staff live locally, others commute from Guildford, South London, Kent and East & West Sussex.
