Teacher of Geography

Felpham Community College is an 11-18 local authority, mixed comprehensive with over 1600 students on roll and a successful sixth form. In March 2019, our one-day, short OFSTED inspection confirmed our OFSTED 'Good' status originally achieved in January 2016. This is an exciting time to join Felpham following the opening of our £11.5M new build programme in late 2019, providing outstanding facilities for our students and staff.

We are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Geography to join an established and effective team of specialists. The department was awarded the Secondary Geography Quality Mark from the Geographical Association and is recognised as a Centre of Excellence for fieldwork. The department has incredibly well-resourced schemes of work for every key stage. There are well planned and structured lessons and accompanying supporting homework activities for all units of learning. The team regularly share ideas and work collaboratively to develop and improve these schemes of work and lessons to ensure high standards of teaching and learning. This role would suit an NQT or more experienced colleague. This is an exciting opportunity to join a truly thriving department, with planned international and national field-trips for the 2024 academic year and beyond.

The successful applicant will be keen to immerse themselves in this effective team, contributing to the future development of the department. They will be required to teach Geography across Key Stages 3 and 4 and there would be opportunities for Key Stage 5 teaching. A desire to build strong, effective relationships with students and staff to create a cohesive, inclusive and positive school environment is also sought.
