Curriculum Leader of Religious Education

We are looking for an exceptional Religious Education Teacher to take a lead in creating a successful new department which inspires students so that they develop a passion for the subject. This will then result in them choosing to study the subject further and then achieving the highest academic outcomes.

The increase in student numbers and development of the curriculum to include GCSE and then A Level provision will lead to an increased TLR over three years:

• 2020/2021: £2,838
• 2021/2022: £4,288
• 2022/2023: £5,855

NB: TLRs will be increase in line with teacher pay awards each year

This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a welcoming, talented, and highly motivated team establishing a brand-new Academy in the London Borough of Enfield. The focus will be on establishing outstanding provision at Wren Academy Enfield and supporting the Christian ethos which underpins the education on offer to our students.

Wren Academy Enfield is the second school of the Wren Academies Trust. Having successfully opened in September 2021 with a first cohort of Year 7 students, we are currently sharing accommodation with AIM Academy at Ponders End, Enfield. In September 2021 we will relocate to the Chase Farm Hospital site into temporary accommodation before starting to move into our permanent buildings during the academic year.

More details about our planned school can be found at the following link:

Wren Academy Enfield is jointly sponsored by the London Diocesan Board for Schools and Berkhamsted School. This new school has been closely modelled on the successful Wren Academy Finchley but every effort is being made to ensure that a distinctive Christian ethos and approach is created which matches the needs and aspirations of the students who join the school.

Wren Academy Finchley quickly developed a strong reputation for outstanding teaching and learning, as well as enabling students to make excellent progress as demonstrated by our Progress 8 figure, which places us in the top 100 schools nationally. Since opening, the school has been awarded three outstanding Ofsteds and two outstanding SIAMs reports. All the factors that have led to the notable success so far are being put in place to ensure similar outcomes at Wren Academy Enfield.

We wish to appoint a colleague to this post who has:

• Outstanding teaching and interpersonal skills.
• The ability and enthusiasm to inspire and motivate all students.
• Strong academic qualifications.
• The ability to teach GCSE and A Level successfully.
• Evidence of ambition and a commitment to continuing professional development.
• The determination and skills to ensure that all students make exceptional progress.

Closing date: 9.00am, Monday 8 March but applications will be considered as they are received.
