Teacher of Religious Education job summary

Religious Education is the open exploration of what people believe, their way of life and the impact of beliefs, values and ways of living in local, national and global communities. Our aim at Thomas Alleyne is to engage pupils in understanding what others believe, what is important to their faith and how they live according to their faith. We encourage students to reflect on their own beliefs and values and what influences them in their own lives, with students engaging positively with diversity, and developing skills in critical, creative and reflective thinking about philosophical and moral arguments.

The successful candidate will have experience of working with children aged 11-16 years and be able to demonstrate they can implement the academy’s commitment to the safety and welfare of children. This position is suitable for all teachers, including those undertaking an ECT programme.

They will also demonstrate a passion for the subject, have the ability to inspire students, have commitment to raising participation levels in extra-curricular activities, and have an awareness of curriculum developments across key stage three and four.

As a teacher you will:

Promote good progress and outcomes by being aware of students’ capabilities and their prior knowledge, and plan teaching to build on these, along with encouraging students to take a responsible and conscientious attitude to their own work and study.

Plan and teach well-structured lessons, promoting a love of learning and children’s intellectual curiosity, and setting homework and planning other out-of-class activities to consolidate and extend the knowledge and understanding students have acquired.

Adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all students, making accurate and productive use of assessment.

Manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment.

Fulfil wider professional responsibilities by making a positive contribution to the wider life and ethos of the academy, developing effective professional relationships with colleagues, and taking responsibility for improving teaching through appropriate professional development.
