Teacher of Religious Studies
We are looking to recruit to our existing strong team of specialist staff a Teacher of Religious Studies who is enthusiastic and passionate about teaching engaging RS lessons; planning and delivering outstanding lessons; and inspiring students.
Religious Studies is an academic subject that has a high profile in our school curriculum. Senior leaders ensure that the teaching, learning and resourcing of Religious Studies is a priority for the school.
The Religious Studies Department is a well supported and nurturing environment for students and teachers. The curriculum is designed to be coherent and spiraled, allowing students to progressively build upon their knowledge until Year 11. All resources are centralised and developed collaboratively by a team of specialists.
Regardless of their academic trajectory, all students engage with the subject, whether they choose the GCSE route or opt for a core corriculum tailored to their individual needs. The subject's popularity among students is clear through work in lessons, student voice and option numbers. This positive sentiment is mirrored in the department's culture of good behaviour, where respect and engagement are evident. The department upholds high standards and expectations, motivating students to strive for excellence in their studies and personal development.
Additionally, students benefit from enriching experiences such as year trips to Canterbury, a Sikh Gurdwara, and Hindu Temple, as well as bi-annual journeys to Rome and Florence, which provide invaluable insights into different cultures and religions.
The RE Department staff comprise a Head of Department and three other specialists including an Assistant Headteacher.

1. Teachers Pension Scheme
2. Subsidised membership to Benenden Private Medical Healthcare
