This is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving Geography department where staff are supported to develop as expert geographers and confident classroom practitioners. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of Geography to join a large, high-performing and collaborative Geography department within our award-winning faculty.
Geography at Tallis is a larger-than-average secondary department, made up of colleagues with a wide range of experience, from early career teachers to highly experienced practitioners.

The Geography department is fully resourced, including access to IT equipment that enables students to engage meaningfully with GIS across key stages.
