same goal - outstanding learning for children. We are now two years into building a fresh, optimistic and sustainable culture
where staff and students are always fulfilled because they know that they are doing their best work for the right reasons. Our
systems and structures are designed to liberate staff and students, freeing us all up from the challenges of uncertainty and
relentless workload which in turn enables creativity, excitement and essentially, it makes coming to school enjoyable for all! To

car or by public transport.

the right to close the advert early. As such we would recommend interested applicants to apply as soon as possible. Due to
upcoming vacancy and our growing student numbers, we are looking for a Geography teacher. For this role, you must be a Geography
specialist with a love of your subject and an ability to share that passion. You will be somebody who can enthuse students and is

languages because they love their subject and want children to love it too. They, like all of us, will be relentless in their
desire to ensure that students at Miltoncross far outstrip their peers locally and nationally. We are firmly committed to ensuring
that staff workload is manageable as we believe that teachers, and leaders, should spend their precious time on those activities
that are proven to add value to children’s learning. To achieve this we use a sensible and effective marking strategy, centralised
assessments, resources and knowledge organisers. We also operate with a very open mind for any staff to be able to share how we
might do things more effectively and efficiently. Miltoncross is a cheerful place to work where everybody pulls in the same
