Teacher of Geography

We seek an enthusiastic, well-qualified teacher of Geography to join our successful department and teach Geography up to A Level. The Geography department is one of the highest performing departments in the school, with students consistently achieving higher than national average grades. Moreover, teaching at A Level continues to go from strength to strength and remains a popular choice for students. Chestnut Grove is a high performing, 11-18, multi-cultural school in Balham, South London, with a number of awards for its inclusive approach including UNICEF Gold Status (2025). Our motto is a ‘Creative Learning Community’, demonstrating a commitment to providing our students with an innovative and exciting curriculum. Why Chestnut Grove? Our staff’s well-being and morale is of the utmost importance to us.
