What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative teacher, with strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to achieving high standards within a thriving department. The successful candidate will have a strong academic background and be an excellent classroom practitioner who is capable of inspiring and motivating students and who can confidently teach Religious Studies at KS3 and GCSE level. An ability to teach at A level would be an advantage but is not essential.

All students study Religious Studies at GCSE and the Department progress and attainment results are impressive across all groups. We offer the A level course in Religious Studies, focusing on Christianity as our chosen faith.The RS team comprises of 3 specialist teachers and is housed in the main building. As a department we like to make sure RS is taught as a living and breathing subject, relating topics to everyday life. We like to allow students to explore the alternatives whether it be non-mainstream religions such as Rastafarianism or to delve into the media and see how religion influences the media or if the media influences how we perceive religion.

We support colleagues in pursuing NPQs and offer a secondment programme onto the Senior Leadership Team for middle leaders.

Although we achieve excellent results year on year and are heavily over-subscribed, we are not complacent. We know there is always more to do, and we work together to continuously reflect upon our successes and areas for development. We are keen to hear the voices of all our stakeholders.
