Head of Religious Studies

We are looking for an exceptional teacher to lead the Religious Studies department at Wren Academy Enfield as we develop through the formative years of developing Key stage 4 and Key Stage 5 Curricula.

Working in partnership with the highly successful Religious Studies faculty at Wren Academy Finchley, the successful candidate will be given the opportunity to lead a small team of committed teachers in ensuring that all Wren Academy Enfield students make exceptional progress. 

The Wren Academies Trust is sponsored by the London Diocesan Board for Schools (Church of England) and Berkhamsted School. Having established an excellent academy in the London Borough of Barnet, we had the opportunity of opening a second school in neighbouring Enfield, which is growing in exactly the same way as Wren Academy Finchley. Wren Academy Finchley has developed a strong reputation for excellent teaching and learning in Religious Studies which has resulted in excellent results, a high number of students studying Religious Studies at A Level and significant numbers of students then studying for Religious Studies degrees at leading universities including Cambridge. It is anticipated that students will achieve similar outcomes at Wren Academy Enfield.

The Trust is a forward-thinking organisation which welcomes colleagues who are enthusiastic and ready to help create powerful and effective learning experiences for all students. The Religious Studies faculty is a thriving part of the Wren Academy community with a curriculum which is innovative and focused on developing students’ lifelong love of learning, as well as achieving outstanding examination success.

Wren is a Multi Academy Trust with expansion plans which will provide exciting professional development opportunities for the successful candidate.

We wish to appoint a colleague to this post who has:

• A minimum of three years teaching experience.
• Outstanding teaching and interpersonal skills.
• A strong academic background with the ability to teach to GCSE and A Level.
• Evidence of ambition and a commitment to continuing professional development.
• The desire to maximise the performance of all students and ensure the very best progress for all.
