We are looking to recruit a Curriculum Leader for Religious Education who can lead a committed and experience staff team. We are keen to appoint someone who can sustain and drive our existing provision.

The successful candidate will:

  • Have very high expectations of all students at all times.
  • Pay a full part in the life of the school community, support the Trust and school mission and ethos and encourage staff and students to follow this example.
  • Ensure the consistent delivery of good achievement and progress for all students.
