Curriculum Leader of Geography

Due to our School expansion, we are seeking to appoint an inspirational Curriculum Leader of Geography who shares our commitment to educational excellence and social inclusion.

The Geography Department at Archbishop Temple Church of England High School is high achieving, motivated and ambitious. The department owes much of its success to the fact that dedicated teachers work as part of a team and share a mutual enthusiasm and commitment. Students ‘Let their Light Shine’ in Geography through inspiring and well-resourced lessons that excite and engage them to develop their natural curiosity, awe and wonder for the World around them. Our knowledge-rich curriculum promotes Geography as a diverse and dynamic subject that teaches us about the ‘great issues of our age’; a subject that is relevant to our everyday lives and that inspires students to understand their responsibilities as global citizens who demonstrate courageous advocacy, in Christ-like service of others.

We have a very distinctive ethos; our motto of “faith + nurture + service” is central to our work, as we aim to keep God at the centre of all we do. This post presents a wonderful opportunity for a talented, passionate and committed teacher. You would be joining our experienced Geography department at a very exciting time for all associated with the school; the successful candidate will receive the wholehearted support of a thriving governing body and a highly dedicated staff team. Further support will be received through our excellent working partnerships with Blackburn Diocese and Lancashire County Council.

Our main priorities are to maintain achievement, enhance the curriculum and support our pupils to reach their true potential. You will have the opportunity to teach highly motivated pupils in a school with a reputation for academic excellence and where there is a wide range of extra-curricular activities in which you can get involved.

Further details about this opportunity and the application form can be downloaded from the 'Attached documents' section below or from our website.
