Teacher of Geography

The King Edward VI Foundation, Birmingham, is a progressive charitable organisation which has supported excellence in education across the City since 1552. Our schools are diverse in nature but have a common purpose and commitment to achieving our mission of “making Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK”.

Our Academy Trust currently consists of two independent schools, six selective, and five non selective academies. Our recent expansion into a wider diversity of local communities is enabling us to accelerate our strategies for improving the life chances of young people in Birmingham, whatever their background.

The King Edward VI Academy Trust Birmingham (“the Academy Trust”) was established in 2017 and is made up of the academies outlined above. The academies receive back office central support services including governance, from the Foundation Office (a central support services function), with several staff being seconded from the Foundation to deliver support services to the Academy Trust and the academies themselves.

Our highly focused five-year strategy aims to build on our existing strengths and heritage and deliver our ambitious growth strategy which aims to bring in a further five academies over the next five years.

We seek to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic classroom practitioner to join an ambitious and well-resourced Geography Department. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate a love for the subject and a commitment to making a difference to the lives of young people.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ECT to develop their practice, or an experienced teacher looking to broaden their skills. The successful candidate will be someone who believes that all students can achieve highly and is prepared to support learners who are ambitious and keen to succeed.

We can offer you:

• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme

• A modern, well-resourced environment

• Supportive, enthusiastic and committed colleagues

• Access to a range of CPD and training tailored to your needs
