Religious Education Teacher

We are advertising for a full time permanent RE teacher, and the post is available from 1 September 2026

The Religious Education department is very successful and is a subject where many of the School's Values are expressed, understood, and related to situations in life. A wide range of teaching and learning methods are used so that students are fully engaged. At KS3 there is a focus on Christianity, but five other major world religions are studied in separate units. There is a whole school entry for Eduqas GCSE which covers beliefs and practices in Christianity and Islam, and religious responses to various ethical issues. At A Level, our cohort is following the Eduqas RE specification which covers Philosophy of Religion, Ethics and Christianity. This is in addition to a Philosophy A Level which includes Philosophy of Religion, Ethics, Epistemology and Mind.

Humanities is an outstanding department with an exceptional team of teachers who enjoy working collaboratively and have helped to lead learning across the school and the city. The exam results of the three Humanities subjects are among the best in the school and take up at both GCSE and A Level underlines the high regard in which the department is held by the students. The department has been a hub of innovative curriculum thinking, especially around creating a curriculum that is more representative of the diverse heritage of our students.
