Since 2019 The Emmbrook has grown significantly, from under 800 students to over 1,300 at present. During this period, we have seen our results go from strength to strength and we are a school with outcomes well ahead of the national average.  

In order to support a request from a member of the Geography Department to take an extended sabbatical, we are seeking a teacher of geography from September 2026. The substantiative postholder is willing to be flexible so this appointment could be for 1, 2 or 3 terms and this would be discussed during the selection process. If you are a skilled practitioner with the ability to inspire and motivate students, we would like to hear from you. 

The Emmbrook is a flourishing school full of energy and high expectations. It was judged good in all areas when last inspected by Ofsted (October 2023).   

We offer:

  • A culture and ethos where staff work collaboratively, feel valued and are well supported.
  • A thoughtful and impactful approach to continuing professional development.
  • A strong commitment to the wellbeing of all staff.
  • A school where our pupils “are focused on their learning” and “take pride in rising to the school’s high behaviour expectations” (Ofsted, 2023).
  • A strong track record of rising outcomes at KS4 and in the Sixth Form.
  • Being part of The Circle Trust, giving you access to a network of experienced educational leaders and mentors.

As Fixed-term Teacher of Geography you will:

  • Be utterly ambitious for every student that you teach.
  • Have a love of your subject and the skills, talent and energy to bring that to every lesson.
  • Work collaboratively with department and school colleagues.
  • Share our FAIR values (family, ambition, integrity and respect).
