About us
Newbridge School is a welcoming school of c.1000 pupils, with high standards of pupil achievement, teaching, and behaviour. The school is based just above Newport, with strong transport routes from the M4, Newport, Cardiff and the South Wales Valleys. All in the school community want to succeed, with strong parental support for the school and pupils who want to learn. A cornerstone of the school is a bespoke professional learning programme to help all staff develop in their careers. In 2024 we had a very positive Estyn inspection which highlighted: the very good behaviour of pupils across the school; positive, supportive relationships between teachers and pupils; our strong professional learning programme which is tailored carefully to staff's individual needs; and the high expectations of everyone in the school.
The Geography department is a dynamic and high-achieving team, consistently delivering excellent results year after year. The subject is taught separately at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, with teachers delivering a stimulating and highly-engaging curriculum which pupils value. Numbers of pupils opting for the subject at GCSE are high, reflecting the high-quality teaching and learning within the department and the high regard which the department is held in by pupils and families. Applications from candidates wishing to offer opportunities for enrichment outside of the classroom will be welcomed, with current options including international and local trips and events.
The successful applicant will have drive, enthusiasm and a passion for Geography, and be determined to inspire and motivate pupils at all levels. You will be supported by an enthusiastic and welcoming team, with excellent opportunities for professional development both within the department and across the school.
Applications can be made through the online application form with a letter of application or sent directly to the Headteacher, Andrew Thompson, via the school's email address.
This is a main scale teaching post, appropriate for NQTs as well as experienced teachers.
