We are looking for a Teacher of Geography. This is an exciting opportunity to join Park House School and become an integral member of the Humanities team.
We are based in Newbury in Berkshire which in itself is in a beautiful area of the country and provides good access to Oxford and London. The area we serve is diverse, and therefore our catchment and students offer a range of expectations and challenges, being able to drive ambitions is key. Our ambition for our students to have the best chance of success is central to our drive and vision. This is best evidenced by our incredible results in the summer exams of 2023 and 2024. Whilst the nation’s results plummeted back to pre-pandemic levels, Park House has had two years of significant improvements and in 2024 attained their best results ever at both GCSE and A-Level. Furthermore, the school has attained the highest grades at both GCSE and A-Level in West Berkshire. Progress 8 is again well above the national average this year at +0.6.
