We seek to appoint an inspiring and ambitious Head of Geography (TLR 2a) with an exceptional teaching ability to join our ‘Outstanding in all areas’ academy. We are looking for applications from candidates who can motivate our learners to achieve their best, can instil a “Growth Mindset” in all, and nurture students to see challenges as opportunities to flourish. Brayton Academy was awarded ‘Outstanding in all areas’ at their most recent Ofsted inspection and highlighted the pupils’ exemplary behaviour and excellent attitudes to learning, the outstanding Leadership Team and the substantial progress made by pupils in lesson thanks to skilful teaching. This is an excellent time to join this thriving academy.

As Head of Geography you will:

• Lead the skilled and dedicated team, offering guidance, support and examples of inspirational practice to colleagues.
• Raise standards of student engagement, attainment and achievement.

In return, the successful candidate will enjoy access to high quality CPD at all levels and the chance to work in an organisation that does things differently. Our academies are a place where staff can develop their skills, find their own style and methods of teaching, learn and grow alongside their students, and feel that they are making a real difference to the lives of those they teach. The Trust is committed to providing private school opportunities in a modern comprehensive environment. We believe that traditional values of discipline and respect are sacrosanct. We do not tolerate bullying, defiance or rudeness and this has made for harmonious and safe learning environments for our young people, and a supportive environment for staff.
