Geography Teacher

We are looking for an inspirational Geography teacher to join our dynamic and successful faculty. Ealing Fields is a young and academically aspirational school. During the few years we've been open we have been in the top 10 schools nationally for student progress. We pride ourselves on the exceptional professional development we offer our teachers which includes weekly CPD and coaching. Our students share our ambition and the standard of behaviour here is outstanding. As a new school within the highly successful Twyford Trust, we also offer exciting development and promotion prospects. Our department is committed to innovating and sharing the best practices in humanities teaching which enables students of all backgrounds and abilities to succeed and enjoy the subjects. Teachers work collaboratively within the department and across our trust, with a highly developed curriculum and lesson resources in place and a very supportive staff body and leadership team. As a small secondary school, it is easy for every child to be well-known by every member of staff. We have fostered a close-knit school community with a strong set of values and built around the motto of enabling our students to have 'Life in all its fullness'. The main purpose of this teaching role is to achieve outstanding examination results for all classes taught, to lead an outstanding tutor group within a pastoral year team and to promote the school's ethos and vision through, for example, active engagement with the school's house system. The school provides a fantastic training opportunity for either a Geography specialist or a general Humanities teacher to support outstanding delivery across the Humanities faculty. The Ealing Fields ethos is centred around the development of critical and ethical thinking; the school therefore prioritises time in the Humanities at Key Stage 3 and 4. The students even study a bespoke Ethics course in Year 7 & 8 which teaches critical approaches to developing arguments and provides students with the opportunity to encounter timeless philosophical and ethical questions. The right candidate would have the opportunity to join the Ethics teaching team if that was of interest to them. Ealing Fields is easily accessible by public transport with the Piccadilly line a short walk away and regular buses to Ealing Broadway which is served by the Central, District and Elizabeth lines. Our staff are on the inner London pay scales and we welcome applications from both experienced teachers and ECTs. We offer:

• Exceptional professional development and career progression.
• Positive working relationships at all levels.
• A supportive Leadership Team.
• A full-range of Trust services providing support and development.
The successful candidate will have:
• A good degree and Qualified Teacher Status.
• Ability to teach Geography to at least KS4.
• Knowledge of the requirements of the National Curriculum.
• An understanding of recent curriculum/learning developments.
• An understanding of the strategies required to motivate and enthuse all students across the ability range as part of a whole school approach to raising achievement.
• An understanding of the processes and techniques required to assess, record and report students' learning effectively.
• Ability to be reflective and driven towards self-improvement.
• A commitment to the ethos of the school.
