Subject Teacher: Geography
Required from Easter 2025
Inner London Pay Scale
Lilian Baylis Technology School is a mixed 11-18 inner city school located in a new building in Vauxhall, London. We are a multicultural school, which serves the local community, and we view this as one of our key strengths. We value the diversity of our school, and strive to ensure that our students feel represented, both at whole school level and within the curriculum.
In addition to this, we have outstanding facilities for our students and teachers, including electronic whiteboards and visualisers in all rooms, as well as laptops for all staff. Almost all teachers have a consistent room base for all their lessons too, enabling them to make it a celebration for their subject and students.
Our students are well behaved and ambitious, and they also value the school. All visitors to the school comment on the calm and productive atmosphere of lessons. Our last OfSTED inspection stated we were ‘outstanding in all aspects’.
Student progress at both GCSE and A Level is very good, and has been consistently so. In particular, we are highly effective at bridging the gaps between disadvantaged students and non-disadvantaged students. We run an extensive intervention programme, at Key Stage 3, which means students who have low prior attainment are able to work on “catching-up” with their peers.
At KS3 the Humanities team has developed a diversified curriculum in Geography that is highly engaging for our students. At KS4 Geography is a popular subject, taken up by at least half the year group at the end of year 9. At KS5 we also offer Geography A Level. Those that study A Levels in Geography generally go on to study a related degree at university, including a substantial proportion of students gaining places at Russell Group Universities.
We are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic colleague to join our Humanities team as a teacher of Geography. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach across all key stages. This is an exciting opportunity for both a teacher who is at the beginning of their career, or a teacher who is more established and looking for a fresh challenge.We offer a highly supportive and committed working environment within a culture of success. Our CPD provision is extensive and follows a research driven approach, which means that our teachers are at the leading edge of professional practice.
