Teacher of RS job summary

This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join our school. We are looking for someone who is

• passionate about high quality teaching and learning,
• offers inspirational and caring guidance for young people and works collaboratively, asks questions and is keen to learn.

The RS department have created a supportive climate in which there is much cooperation. There are detailed and imaginative schemes of work and excellent resources. RS is popular across the school with both short-course and full course GCSE and A-Level Philosophy and Ethics taught. We have excellent take up at GCSE.

The successful candidate will be given full support and will be encouraged to engage in further professional development, which we believe will benefit both the individual and the school. We have a strong induction programme, particularly for ECTs who will be registered with George Abbot Teaching School. The successful applicant is likely to be a form tutor and will be required to teach KS3 humanities as part of their timetable. As the school transitioned from being a Local Authority Community School to forming a MAT, a key element was maintaining the full benefit and protection of the National Pay & Conditions. Similarly, staff appointed from other academies are not disadvantaged, e.g. by counting service towards sick pay and maternity leave. The school takes a constructive approach towards Performance Management & Appraisal and Pay Progression and offers many opportunities for career development through paid responsibilities.

The Ashcombe School is a mixed comprehensive school for pupils of all abilities between the ages of 11 and 18 based in Dorking in Surrey. It has been highly sought-after for many years, with very high levels of interest again for September 2023. This is due to a wide range of factors including its facilities, academic results, standards of teaching, pastoral care, the wide range of trips and extra-curricular activities and the resultant attitudes of its pupils. In its January 2019 visit, Ofsted commented that “Pupils’ attitudes towards learning are very positive. Pupils are attentive and responsive in equal measure in lessons. As a result, there is a very harmonious learning atmosphere"
