The Teacher of Geography will contribute to the delivery and ongoing development of an ambitious and coherent seven-year Geography curriculum from Year 7 through to Sixth Form. The role is to inspire pupils to become increasingly knowledgeable, thoughtful and independent geographers, developing secure subject knowledge alongside geographical enquiry, critical thinking, fieldwork and the purposeful use of geographical technologies.
The successful candidate will teach across the age and ability range and contribute to both Human and Physical Geography. Pupils progress from an enquiry-rich Key Stage 3 curriculum to Edexcel International GCSE Geography and Cambridge International A Level Geography. Geography at LWC is a popular and successful subject with a strong emphasis on academic ambition, contemporary Geography and learning beyond the classroom.
Fieldwork is central to the department's approach, making purposeful use of the College's 1,200-acre campus, woodland and working farm, alongside local, residential and wider enrichment opportunities. The successful candidate will contribute positively to curriculum development, assessment, fieldwork, enrichment and the wider life of the department and College. They will work collaboratively with colleagues and be encouraged to bring their own geographical interests and expertise to the team.
Our aim is for pupils not simply to remember Geography, but to think geographically: to ask questions, make connections, interpret evidence, evaluate perspectives and engage thoughtfully with a rapidly changing world. Should you wish to discuss the role in strict confidence, please feel free to contact the Head of Geography, Jan Norgaard on [email protected].
