Teacher of Religious Studies job summary
Religious Studies has a vitally important role in the whole college curriculum at Newton Abbot College: to give students the opportunity to reflect on their own beliefs and ideas and develop a knowledge of and respect for other people’s views. It is a core and compulsory subject at key stages 3 and 4 with all students taking a full course GCSE as well as being very successful at A level. This is an exciting time for the department and the successful applicant will support the new Head of Department in developing Religious Studies across the key stages. We are pleased to be recruiting large numbers again at post-16 and this will be a particular focus in the next academic year.
