Recommend on Google+
Many thanks to tutor2u’s Amy Chapman for letting us have first news of this teaching opportunity in the lovely spa town of Cheltenham.
Head of Economics and Business Studies - Cheltenham College
A well-qualified and experienced graduate is required to lead the highly successful Economics and Business Studies department from September 2012 following the promotion of the current head of department.
The ability to teach both subjects to A2 Level will be an advantage although single-subject specialists will be considered.
The Department comprises five full-time staff, and two part-time teachers, including the Deputy Head (Pastoral). Teaching takes place in a dedicated block shared with the EAL department. All members of the teaching staff are equipped with a school MacBook and there are digital projectors in all teaching rooms.
The Department currently runs a number of subject activities, such as Young Enterprise, Bank of England Target 2.0 competition and IFS investor challenge. An extensive Oxbridge programme is also offered by the department, which includes lectures, extension groups and visits to the Adam Smith Institute.
Economics and Business Studies are currently offered at AS/A2 Level only. There are usually five Economics sets in each year group and two or three Business Studies groups.
Economics currently uses the AQA specification and Business Studies has changed (in 2011) to WJEC board.
The closing date for applications is Friday 17th February.
