High Tunstall College of Science is seeking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of Geography for September 2025 or sooner, to ensure all of our young people are able to achieve their potential in the subject. This post would also be suitable for ECT’s.
The focus of learning in the World Affairs Faculty is the study of people, their relationships and interactions, in terms of time, place, belief and environment. We aim to encourage and foster an understanding of students’ place in the world.
World Affairs is taught as three distinct subject disciplines with cross curricular themes developed where possible at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. Through promoting a common approach and the specific knowledge, understanding and skills of Citizenship, Philosophy and Ethics, Geography and History we hope to achieve these aims. We teach the AQA specification for GCSE Geography and our KS3 Geography curriculum is designed to give students a strong foundation for this should they chose to continue the subject as part of their options. We currently have 6 classes in Y10 and 4 classes in Y11.
We have also run two residential visits to Iceland since 2023 and another is planned for 2026. We intend for students to enjoy and embrace learning in the World Affairs Faculty, to reach their
potential and to thrive as independent learners through a varied yet challenging curriculum utilising the expertise of supportive teachers for individual student needs.
Supporting documents and how to apply for this post are available on the College website: www.htcs.org.uk/vacancies via the Face-Ed link.
The College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and to equality of opportunity. An enhanced DBS will be required.
