This role is to provide an outstanding learning experience for students, allowing them to fulfil their potential through the provision of excellent teaching, support and guidance.
The Geography Department has a reputation for high standards in teaching and learning and we pride ourselves on our student-centered approach. The department is committed to working with the students to achieve our school values of Curiosity, Courage and Compassion and also places emphasis on scholarship through wider reading.
We are a dynamic and enthusiastic team who believe in supporting all students to achieve high academic standards. The KS3 Geography curriculum has gone through a large-scale change which represents an amazing opportunity to work on an innovative and cutting-edge curriculum which extends the National Curriculum.
The Geography department operates across both Tonbridge and Sevenoaks campuses. It consists of both full and part-time subject specialist staff and forms an essential part of our Humanities faculty. Teamwork and effective communication are essential skills required for the role and particularly to ensure that operation across both campuses is successful. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and creative individual to drive the department forward and to build on the exemplary results that have been achieved. Geography continues to be the most popular option subject for GCSE. The Geography department encourages student participation in co-curricular activities across all key stages, including field trips abroad, support sessions and welcoming external speakers.
KS3 students receive four hours of geography teaching per fortnight, with this going up to 5 hours in KS4 where students work towards the AQA GCSE. At KS5, students’ 10 hours are split equally between human and physical geography specialists, and they follow the Edexcel specification. Their A-Level includes an NEA on either coasts or regeneration. Please see the Curriculum section of our website for more information.
