Head of Religious Studies

Required from September 2026

We have an exciting opportunity for a Head of Religious Studies to join our school community. We are looking for an excellent practitioner capable of teaching Religious Studies from Year 7 through to A-Level, inspiring our students with a love of the subject and possessing a willingness to take learners well beyond the scope of the A-Level syllabus. There will be opportunities to work with students applying for top universities.

The Head of Religious Studies takes responsibility for the day-to-day running of the subject provision throughout the school. The school offers an in-house bespoke program for Years 7 - 11 (known as "Philosophy & Religion") and the RS A Level, for Years 12 and 13. There is scope for the appointed colleague to review our bespoke offering, update our provision, and grow the subject. Over time, for example, it might be that the school reviews the potential to offer RS GCSE to Year 10 and 11 students.

The role involves resourcing the subject, leading on teaching and learning in the subject, overseeing internal assessment, mentoring and coaching of colleagues who might offer Philosophy & Religion teaching, and contributing to managing high subject performance.
