Start date: September 2025 or as soon as possible

We are looking to appoint an outstanding Geography Teacher to prepare and deliver lessons across Key Stages 3 & 4 that enrich the students’ experience and give them the opportunity to succeed academically. As Geography Teacher you will develop Geography within the Connected Curriculum model at both Key Stages, building conceptual understanding of the ‘big ideas’, the connections across the curriculum and the continuous development of students’ Core Learning Skills.

As a wider member of the teaching team of One In A Million Free School, the Geography Teacher will work to achieve outstanding progress and attainment, ensuring that the students enjoy today as they prepare for tomorrow! This is a great opportunity to encourage students in our city to be highly engaged, motivated and achieve excellent standards.

Our goal together is to ensure that the School remains true to its aims, values, vision and mission; upholding the principle that we are here to put the needs of our students and young people first.

Who are we?

• OIAMFS opened in September 2013 with just 60 year 7 students, we are now full and oversubscribed every year. We are based next to the iconic home of Bradford City Football Club, Valley Parade.
• OIAMFS is part of the One In A Million family. One In A Million was established in 2006 as a charity that wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people in Bradford through sport, the arts and enterprise. Our name reflects our values: every child is valued and unique.

What we offer: 

• We are a small secondary, mainstream comprehensive school, with approximately 375 students across five year groups, so our class sizes are smaller. This means every teacher knows every student and we all know each other which builds a strong team and community within the school.
• A chance to change the lives of young people from deprived socio-economic backgrounds.
• We place students at the centre of everything we do as a school.
• We genuinely value our staff and fully support their development, wellbeing and career progression. We offer a wide range of CPD opportunities and really encourage staff in their professional development.
