As Teacher of Religious Studies, you will be joining a highly motivated team of teachers. Our Religious Studies curriculum has been designed to ensure depth of understanding for all students and our team work collaboratively with a focus on the latest pedagogical ideas and methods.
Centralised but flexible resource planning enables teachers to teach responsively, and a sensible assessment & feedback policy ensures that students make progress at every stage and allows teachers to focus on planning excellent explanations and learning sequences.
