About this role
We are seeking to appoint a talented and dedicated person to join our team. The successful candidate will join our Humanities faculty to teach Geography.
Geography is a thriving subject at Fitzharrys, popular at GCSE and A Level, with students getting strong outcomes. Students enjoy trips from Year 7 onwards, in the local area and further afield. Students study a carefully planned curriculum that builds key skills and knowledge, whilst also developing an understanding of key geographical issues.
Fitzharrys is a school which is growing and developing rapidly. Our ethos of Aspiration, Opportunity, and Integrity are being utilised by staff and students to enhance the education we deliver. This is an exciting time to join our Trust, with the opportunity to further drive forward standards at Fitzharrys. The role offers the successful candidate a supportive and collegiate culture, ambitious professional development, and the opportunity to make a difference for the Abingdon community. This is a very special place, and we are looking for the right candidate who is excited at the prospect of joining us and taking such a key role in our continued success in English.
Staff wellbeing is noticeably valued at Fitzharrys School and, as part of the ALT Trust, we have our Workload and Well-being Charter. The Trust is pro-active in supporting staff to maintain the purposeful behaviour of students in class.
We are proud of our students, and in turn they are proud to be part of the Fitzharrys community. Parents are supportive of the work of the school, recognising our high aspirations for every student who attends; they are both challenged to achieve highly, and supported in doing so.
This is an exciting time to join us in our continued development. If you are committed to working with us and helping our pupils and students realise their potential, we encourage you to apply.
