Teacher of Geography - Glossop, United Kingdom - Glossopdale School

Description

We are looking to appoint an inspirational, professional and dynamic teacher to join our geography team from September 2024. You will be passionate about your subject, and an engaging and an enthusiastic classroom practitioner.

You'll be joining the department at an exciting time as the improvements we are making are gaining momentum. Geography is taught as a discrete subject to all pupils in Years 7-9 and is a popular option at GCSE. We also offer geography at A Level.

In return, we offer professional support and career development opportunities. We recognise and value continued professional development and as such, training opportunities will be made available to you throughout your career with us. We welcome applications from Early Careers Teachers.

We exist to empower our students to find their purpose, develop high aspirations and thrive both academically and personally, to be the best that they can be. We provide a knowledge-rich curriculum which exposes students to powerful knowledge, places them on an ambitious pathway and develops the character traits needed to seize the opportunities that exist. Our core purpose is not merely finite 'success' for our students but for them to thrive - continually grow and flourish.

We are explicit about the culture we want to create and have clear ideas of the desired behaviours necessary for our students to succeed. At Glossopdale School, we maintain a relentless focus on the day-to-day actions, behaviours and routines within the school and adopt a disciplined approach to teaching students the right and successful ways to do things.

While with us, we encourage every member of staff to stretch themselves and we give everyone access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities. We are a research-based school with the aim to develop highly effective evidence-based practices including teaching, learning and assessment, where we collaborate as a whole staff to persistently improve our pedagogy and where we evaluate our practice habitually.

We have some of the best facilities in the area having fully rebuilt our school in 2018. This not only provides both staff and students with everything they can expect for modern teaching and learning, but also gives us exceptional environmental credentials.

The TRUE Learning Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and preventing extremism; all staff must ensure that the highest priority is given to following the guidance and regulations to safeguard children and young people.
