Job description

Do you want to inspire young people to understand the world around them and their place within it?

The Victory Academy is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Geography Teacher to join our supportive team.

You will teach across Key Stages 3 and 4, delivering an ambitious curriculum that develops students' understanding of both human and physical geography while building curiosity about the rapidly changing world around them. Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on geographical enquiry, fieldwork, cultural awareness and helping students understand their impact on the environment.

We are looking for a strong classroom practitioner with high expectations who can create engaging lessons, challenge students and help every learner achieve their best.

At The Victory Academy, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming and caring school. Our strong staff-pupil relationships create an environment where students know that we've got their back and genuinely care about their well-being - even those who find learning challenging. Here, pupils celebrate and respect each other's uniqueness, echoing one student's sentiment:

\"You can be who you want to be here.\" (Ofsted 2023)

Our site and buildings provide an inspiring backdrop for growth and discovery. With excellent resources at your fingertips, you'll thrive as an educator. We boast a robust arts education program, including a prestigious Platinum Artsmark award - an achievement held by less than 1% of schools in England.

We believe in the individuality of each person. Every member of our community possesses unique gifts and talents, which we nurture and channel. Our curriculum ensures that all students, regardless of their starting points, achieve their academic potential. When they leave The Victory Academy, they'll be dynamic contributors to society.
