Teacher of Geography in London

Leigh Stationers' Academy is seeking to appoint a Teacher of Geography, joining us from September 2026. We are looking for an exceptional teacher who can deliver high-quality learning opportunities for our students in this curriculum area. Applications are welcomed from both experienced and newly qualified teachers as we can offer fantastic professional development at every stage of a teacher’s career.

We believe that every learner is entitled to an enriching, varied and personalised education: delivered through a broad and balanced curriculum that provides challenge, irrespective of need, starting point or background. Our commitment to maximising the potential of every child, teaching them the skills they need to be successful and nurturing a desire to be a lifelong learner, will prepare them for whichever career path they choose to follow.

If you want to join a highly successful team who are passionate about research-informed education, and you can inspire learners to go beyond what they are taught and seek what they do not yet know, then we want to hear from you.

Leigh Stationers' Academy is a school dedicated to making a positive impact on every student. We’re proud to be a Leigh Academies Trust school, prioritising a 'human-scale' education model where students feel recognised and valued.

We offer the IB Middle Years Programme for students in Years 7-9, designed to help them become curious, well-rounded, and resilient learners. We also have a strong focus on extracurricular activities. We’re one of the largest providers of the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award in the South and one of only six state schools with a Marine Combined Cadet Force (CCF).

Our commitment to strong partnerships with parents and carers, as well as our robust pastoral care system, ensures every student receives the support they need to succeed. Our dedicated and skilled staff are key to our success, and we provide extensive professional development opportunities to support their growth.
