We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated subject leader for Religious Studies with a passion for their subject and the ability to inspire and motivate students. As Subject leader for Religious Studies you will lead a successful department in areas such as curriculum development at Key Stage 3, effective and engaging delivery at Key Stage 4 & 5 and the importance of Religious Studies in today’s curriculum.

Religious Studies is a popular subject at Ashby School with consistent cohorts at A-level. It is also a key part of our Key Stage 3 Humanities provision and one of our suite of Humanities options at GCSE. We also want to grow a more holistic coverage at Key Stage 4 with the right person to lead this innovation.

The Religious Studies department is part of a thriving Humanities faculty that prides itself on outstanding teaching and care for students. The principle aim of RS at Ashby School is for students to explore what people believe and what difference this makes to how they live. This enables students to gain the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to handle questions raised by religion and belief, reflecting on their own ideas and ways of living. RS teaching and learning at Ashby School enables students to: make sense of a range of religious and non-religious beliefs; understand the impact and significance of religious and non-religious beliefs; and make connections between religious and non-religious beliefs, concepts, practices and ideas studied.

We are looking for a teacher who shares these aims and wants RS to be at the very heart of Ashby School. RS is taught through KS3 to KS5. The students study the AQA specification at GCSE level and the OCR specification at A level.

Closing Date: Monday 24th February 2024 [9am]
