Geography Teacher (ECTs Welcome) – Shropshire – January 2026

A leading independent girls’ day and boarding school in Shropshire is seeking a passionate and enthusiastic Teacher of Geography to join its Humanities department from January 2026. This full-time, permanent position offers an outstanding opportunity for an Early Career Teacher to begin their teaching journey in a highly supportive and inspiring environment.

You’ll teach across Key Stages 3–5, introducing students to the richness of the subject — from physical landscapes to human interactions — while encouraging curiosity about the wider world. The role suits someone who enjoys fostering academic challenge alongside creativity and exploration.

The Geography department has a reputation for innovative, engaging teaching and strong results. Staff collaborate closely on curriculum design, using a blend of digital resources, fieldwork and project-based learning to bring the subject to life. ECTs are fully supported through a structured induction programme, regular mentoring, and opportunities to observe experienced colleagues across the Humanities faculty. You’ll have access to well-equipped classrooms, modern learning technology and an environment that encourages experimentation and professional growth. Fieldwork plays an important role in the department’s ethos, with opportunities for local and national trips that build real-world understanding and student confidence.

You’ll bring enthusiasm, subject knowledge and a genuine love of Geography. As an ECT, you’ll be encouraged to develop your own teaching style within a framework that prioritises both academic rigour and pupil wellbeing. Strong communication skills, flexibility and a reflective approach will help you thrive in this collaborative, close-knit setting.

This independent day and boarding school for girls aged 7–18 combines academic ambition with a strong focus on confidence, leadership and character. The community is warm and inclusive, where students are inspired to achieve highly and think independently. Teachers benefit from small class sizes, excellent facilities and a collegial environment that values innovation and care in equal measure.

The successful candidate will receive a competitive independent-school salary, mentoring throughout the ECT induction period, and access to ongoing professional development. Staff enjoy a friendly and professional working environment, exceptional facilities and the opportunity to make a genuine impact in a school that values creativity, curiosity and community.

If you’re a motivated Geography Teacher — whether newly qualified or early in your career — ready to inspire bright and curious learners in a supportive independent school, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit your CV to apply.
