“Difference is the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth, and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity.” - John Hume
Cheadle Hulme High School are currently looking for a dedicated Teacher of Religious Studies who can contribute to our commitment to providing exceptional teaching and learning experiences. We are searching for an individual who possesses a genuine enthusiasm for teaching English, both within the classroom and beyond. This post is suitable for both experienced teachers or newly qualified teachers.
At Cheadle Hulme High School Religious Studies fundamentally aims to open minds to diversity and improve tolerance and respect in a multi-faceted society. Our curriculum is first and foremost rooted in academically rigorous religious, philosophical, ethical and textual studies. We challenge students to think about topics of metaphysical investigation. Our sequences of learning experiences are intended to develop students both culturally as well as academically. Our curriculum reflects the very real nature of society as it stands today and this means that we have to expose students to often controversial topics. Our curriculum seeks to break down barriers of intolerance and positively challenge stereotypes which students may well be presented with both in the media and at home. Our curriculum takes into consideration that whilst we are unashamedly academic, we also want our students to be unashamedly kind, respectful, tolerant and accepting of diversity. We want students to leave school with more than knowledge; we want them to be open-minded and progressive in their thinking.
For further details on the role, including key skills and experience required, please see the Job Description and Person Specification attached below.
