The successful candidate will join our flourishing and successful Humanities Faculty and will be part of an ambitious, committed and experienced team.

We aim to provide a Geography curriculum which promotes interest and curiosity in the world around us and inspires a sense of shared responsibility for the planet we live in.

They learn key skills and processes that will enable them to appreciate the interactions between the Human and Physical worlds.
