TEACHER OF GEOGRAPHY

Start Date: April/September 2023

Salary range: MPS- UPS £34,502 to £53,482 per annum (inner London)

________________________________________________________________________

Forest Hill is an 11-19 school which exists to serve the local community through innovative teaching and a broad and comprehensive curriculum offer in state-of-the-art facilities.  We have a strong record of academic success which combined with our Performance Arts specialism underpins the development of our boys all the way to our co-educational post 16 provision. 

Geography is a large, thriving subject area which is one of our major option choices at KS4 and very popular at A-Level.  Our excellent GCSE and A-level results reflect our success. We believe that excellent Geography provision balances academic rigour, fieldwork and a range of opportunities outside the curriculum, including a hugely popular trip to Iceland.

Our ideal candidate is

• A Geography specialist, though ability to teach other Humanities subjects is desirable
• An outstanding teacher who combines a range of innovative teaching strategies with excellent relationships with young people
• A team player who works well with others and is dedicated to the success of their students
• Someone who looks for ways to improve themselves and the school and is not afraid of taking responsibility beyond their classroom

We will offer

• The opportunity to work in an established and experienced school which challenges the stereotypes of underachieving boys in inner city London
• A personalised CPD programme that offers a range of opportunities to broaden your pedagogical experience and which seeks to support you in developing yourself for future leadership roles
• Modern, state of the art facilities, including staff laptops and the use of excellent ICT facilities with the students
