Teacher of RS job summary
Thank you for your interest in this post and we look forward to receiving your application.
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. The successful applicant is likely to be a form tutor. 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, Surrey. There are approximately 1,450 pupils on roll at Ashcombe (including around 250 in the Sixth Form) and 150 members of staff.
The school is highly sought-after and is over subscribed for September 2022. 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".
