RE Teacher

You will be working in a very supportive team of experienced teachers, who are dedicated to the academic and spiritual learning and development of each student. The Religious Education department plays a special part in leading and promoting the overall ethos of the school and aims to be at the forefront of its success.

As a core subject, all students are taught RE throughout the school, with all students sitting GCSE in Year 11. Pupils at Key Stage 3 study Christianity, as well as aspects of other major world faiths. We aim to inspire all students to achieve their full potential and place great emphasis on securing students’ success at GCSE. 

We study AQA at GCSE. Many students choose to go on and study Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics at A Level and continue with this subject at further education.

The department works in close collaboration with our School Chaplains, to create a variety of opportunities to learn and experience faith in and beyond the classroom. The school Governors are deeply committed to the work of the school and to its religious life and education. Our RE team’s strength is rooted in collaborative support. Sharing best practice, creating engaging common resources, as well as a commitment to explore your own varied practices to make learning in RE effective, accessible and engaging.  

We would welcome applications from motivated, enthusiastic teachers, passionate about Religious Education and dedicated to raising standards of students' learning. It is important that you are supportive in our ecumenical approach and ethos which permeates through both the department and school. Applications are welcome from experienced teachers and from NQTs, who would benefit from a comprehensive induction year programme. If this sounds like you, don't hesitate to apply and we look forward to hearing from you.
