Dunbar Education are currently working with an Ofsted rated Good school who are now seeking a Head of Geography to join their team from January or April. If this could be of interest, please see below for further details;

Location: Hemel Hempstead

Ofsted: Good

Salary: MPS/UPS London Fringe + TLR

Contract: Permanent, full time

Start Date: April or sooner

About the school

This Ofsted rated Good school is a very popular and very oversubscribed school on a beautiful site in the Boxmoor Village area of the town. They are an expanding school, having been asked by Hertfordshire to increase to 217 students in each year group and over 250 in the Sixth Form, allowing them to recruit new colleagues and increase the broad range of academically rigorous courses they offer.

Simply put, it is a great school. Not just now, or in the last Ofsted, or with the last summer's results - but consistently, for over 90 years! People who started their careers here return for second or third promotions.

As a colleague there you would be joining a friendly, experienced, caring and close-knit team, both in the school, and across Scholars', which now serves nearly six -thousand young people in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. You would be joining a school with a confident outlook, digital technology in the hands of every child, an incredibly strong house system and a supra-curricular offer which are the envy of other providers.

Staff wellbeing and belonging is at the heart of the Trust ethos.

About the area

This area is the second largest and fastest growing town in Hertfordshire. That means new house building and house prices which are not typical for the Home Counties. Add to that great transport links, with the M25, M1, A41 and trains into London Euston; it is a great place to live. The town boasts an indoor real snow ski slope, the XC climbing centre, and Jarman Park has cinemas, restaurants, and a skating rink. A ten-minute drive and you are in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

At this school you:

Have access to cutting edge technology with an iPad for every teacher and every child, with the ability to share and collaborate with colleagues across the trust.
Have access to a School Assistance Programme of counselling, GP services, physiotherapy, wellbeing and support programmes.
Can work off-site during your PPA or in some support roles.
In which mobile phones are banned for students, improving theirs and colleagues' wellbeing.
Are encouraged and trained in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for planning, administrating, supporting, assessing and stretching students, whilst reducing teacher workload.
Do not have to write personalised or handwritten reports and there are only three data entry windows per year.
Do not have to do flick and tick marking, and marking policies are nuanced to suit your subject.
Have opportunities to develop and grow with fully funded NPQ courses, secondments, leadership exchange programmes and talent development across the trust.
Have parking on site for every member of staff, plus free tea, coffee and water in the large staffroom, and staff orchard, and we are introducing EV charging stations.
Support, on-call, from a senior leader, available every period to support with teaching or behaviour management.
Have no fixed lesson plan template or model, or the requirement to show your lesson plans to leaders.
Have no more than one late evening event in any week and all training, events, parents' evenings and meeting happen on the same night of the week, so you can plan your social and family lives.
Can rely on three full-time cover supervisors so that colleagues only cover rarely.
Can work on a beautiful, 19-acre campus site, which has Eco-School Merit status, and in which the brand-new state-of-the-art buildings for English, technology, SEND and art are zero-net carbon is use.
