Full Time, Fixed Term (two terms), required from Easter 2025
We seek an enthusiastic, reflective, determined specialist to teach Religious Studies from KS3 to KS4 and PSHCE in KS3. All students in KS3 study RS, and all students in years 10 and 11 study GCSE Religious Studies AQA Spec A – Christianity and Islam. Like the sound of this, then apply!
Our vision is simple; we create futures and that includes ensuring our staff have them too! At Heart of England we are clear in our approach to professional well-being, which is crucial at a time of ever-shifting challenge.
We believe in agency and autonomy for our staff. We believe that the same intellectual curiosity that leads you to want to study your subject at university and then teach it to others is what makes you best placed to make decisions about the way you teach your subject now. We believe that when it comes to learning and teaching, our motto, “No One Way … By Design, but deliver”, encapsulates our philosophy of enabling staff to deliver the best possible outcomes for students in a culture that acknowledges variety.
Each subject department has designed its own new curriculum for KS3 following the sequence of knowledge and skills they believe to be essential for students as they develop through the years. Our behaviour policy with the motto 'Our One Way…By Design' outlines that clear boundaries and consistent daily action are the bedrock of a successful school. Another thing about us: we're not into quick fixes or superficial tweaks; we're in it for sustainable excellence.
If you think we sound like the kind of school where you'd enjoy working, please come and visit, call for a conversation, click on our website, or simply apply. The future you are seeking may well be here.
