Religious Studies/ Humanities Teacher - Fixed Term job summary

Religious Studies/Humanities Teacher - Fixed Term (until Easter, or possibly summer term)

We are looking for an enthusiastic, well-qualified teacher to work within the successful subject area of Religious Studies. We would ideally like to recruit a colleague who has experience of teaching at KS4 and 5.

Ringwood School is a large thriving oversubscribed 11-18 Comprehensive School situated in beautiful surroundings close to the New Forest and the Hampshire / Dorset coastline. We recognise the importance of creating a dynamic, innovative learning environment to support young people with their learning.

This is an excellent opportunity and time to join the department as we have recently re-branded from Ethics and Philosophy to Religious Studies to more accurately describe what we deliver. We have also moved to AQA GCSE in order to better suit the needs of our students.

The Religious Studies department is made up of 3 specialist RS teachers, who work within a Humanities Faculty. The departmental culture is student centred with very low behavioural incidents and high levels of rewards and achievement. Lessons are engaging and a variety of different learning activities are incorporated into our schemes of work. When you walk into a Religious Studies lesson you will observe debate and an enjoyment of the subject.

The team are friendly, mutually supportive, work together and with other teams across the school to produce an ethos and atmosphere which is conducive to learning. We recognise the importance of learning from each other to include sharing best practice both within and between schools. We are dedicated to continually pushing ourselves with new topics and resources, so we benefit from continuous learning.

Our results at A-Level over time are good and our GCSE results are often excellent. We aspire to continue with these excellent results as a department and work closely with the team to ensure that students are always making good progress.

The successful candidate will have to meet the requirements of the person specification and will be required to have an enhanced DBS check. Ringwood School is committed to safeguarding students. We welcome applications regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion. Only applications submitted on the school application form will be considered.
