Geography is a popular subject with many pupils choosing this as an option in Year 9. The team have developed an ambitious curriculum and enjoy regular discussions about developments in pedagogical choices within their subject. We are looking for a teacher who will become part of this team and contribute to the increasing success.
Why Falinge?
Our objective is simple at Falinge: to create a compelling learning experience. We do this by believing in people and positive relationships. This underpins our actions with each other and with the children. We have only one non-negotiable in school and that is our commitment to Safeguarding.
If you visit the school I would hope you would notice the warm, welcoming environment; the excellent behaviour of the children; strong staff morale; a commitment to professional development of all staff; and a strong sense that this is a place where learning is valued.
At Falinge we consider learning to be both in and outside of a classroom. We have developed our community wing of the school and are working closely with our charitable and voluntary organisations on social action and social justice projects. We believe in the beauty of civil society: of schools and community partners working together, ultimately benefiting the wellbeing and agency of communities. We would expect the successful applicant to be part of this approach.
We do work hard at the school but teacher’s timetables are generous and we do not have a culture of “meeting for meeting’s sake.” We are sensible with workload and expectations and are not afraid to stop if what we are doing isn’t having an impact on compelling learning.
As with any organisation, we don’t get it right all of the time – but we make sure that we work in a non-judgemental environment and we focus our actions have to be for the benefit of the children.
