Teacher of Geography (Maternity Cover) in Coventry

Finham Park Multi Academy Trust is recruiting an innovative and highly motivated Teacher of Geography on a temporary basis for maternity cover. The successful candidate will join a strong and enthusiastic team committed to delivering a high quality, lively and interesting curriculum to challenge and inspire all students.

The successful candidate will be required to teach to KS3, KS4 and potentially KS5. Finham Park 2 is an exciting, friendly and supportive 11-19 co-educational comprehensive school based on the West side of Coventry near the border of Solihull and close to Warwick University. We opened in September 2015 with 120 students and have grown year on year, including our 6th form, which opened in 2020.

In September 2016 we moved to our new building - a light and spacious, high quality refurbishment with superb facilities including a brand-new sports hall. We are fully staffed with a positive, supportive, forward thinking team and continue to be heavily oversubscribed each year. Our last Ofsted (November 2023) described Finham Park 2 as a good school in all areas with “a purposeful atmosphere around the school”, “a calm and orderly manner” and “a highly ambitious curriculum”, where “leaders carefully consider staff workload which staff are appreciative of.”

Finham Park 2 is a truly comprehensive school with almost 700 students on roll. The vast majority of our students are happy, well-behaved, friendly, inquisitive, polite and wear their uniform with pride. On entry, students are broadly in line with national averages with approximately 85+% middle or higher prior attainment.

We offer an exciting curriculum that provides opportunities for all students to ensure they achieve and make the best progress they are capable of, no matter what their starting points; a curriculum that nurtures every child’s talents and provides exceptional opportunities for students to have the ‘time of their lives’.

As part of the Multi Academy Trust, we enjoy working in collaboration with the other MAT schools, providing fantastic opportunities for both our staff and students. Successful candidates will join an established and strong team, where our teachers are committed to delivering a high quality, lively and interesting curriculum to challenge and inspire all of our students.

We are looking to appoint a charismatic, dynamic individual who naturally inspires others and is passionate about teaching and its impact on learning. The successful candidate will be driven by a commitment to create the best possible educational opportunities for our pupils, in order to raise aspirations and transform lives.
