We would love to hear from you if you are an outstanding classroom practitioner with a vision and passion for geography, a sound understanding of pedagogy and aspirations to develop your leadership portfolio. Candidates should be ambitious about playing a lead role in nurturing a love for geography and curiosity for our planet amongst all students.

The Mountbatten Geography Department is comprised of 5 passionate subject specialists who demonstrate a drive and commitment to improving student outcomes through a supportive CPD programme and continuous sharing of best practice. Geography is a popular choice at GCSE and the department follows the AQA GCSE Geography specification.

The department is proud to hold the Secondary Geography Quality Mark with Centre of Excellence status from the Geographical Association, an accolade we have held since 2013. Fieldwork enjoys a prominent role in the curriculum with every year group experiencing at least one opportunity to undertake fieldwork. The department also leads oversubscribed expeditions to both the Azores and Costa Rica and are always looking for new destinations which we feel would continue to inspire our students and develop their geographical curiosity.

As the Head of Geography/Assistant Head of Geography, your role is to lead/support in the leadership of an outstanding department in a school committed to high standards of achievement and behaviour, within a highly successful and supportive Humanities Faculty. You will possess the drive, energy and creativity to ensure that the Geography Department remains a centre of excellence for innovative teaching and learning whilst maintaining excellent student outcomes.

If you are committed and want to support the leadership of high-quality teaching and learning to inspire our young geographers, whilst developing your own career in a highly supportive faculty and working with colleagues who share that passion, we look forward to hearing from you.
