Rawlins Church of England Academy is seeking to appoint a highly talented and successful leader to the post of Head of RE. You will be joining an enthusiastic Faculty team and will play a key role in the management and academic success of the Academy.
Essential to this role are strong interpersonal skills and an ability to build an effective team. You will need a range of skills, have aspirations of yourself and of our pupils and be willing to constantly review and reflect on the effectiveness of strategies and initiatives.
Applications are welcomed from well-qualified and highly motivated individuals who are keen to work with remarkable young people providing an exceptional education for all. Previous leadership experience, whilst desirable, is not as important as talent and application. Our new leader will be a gifted teacher, with excellent interpersonal skills and the capacity for curriculum and whole-school operational leadership.
This is an excellent opportunity to join one of Leicestershire’s largest schools with currently over 1500 on role including more than 300 in the Post-16 Centre. We are an inclusive school having an ASD and a Moderate Learning Difficulties unit on site. There is a strong sense of community in the school, the village of Quorn and the surrounding areas with a committed parent support base. Teamwork is a key feature of school life.
Our core purpose is summed up in our vision and values:
Developing Trust | Inspiring Hope | Building Success | Shaping the Future

About Rawlins Academy
- Rawlins Academy
- Loughborough Road, Quorn, Loughborough

- United Kingdom
With its 300 year history Rawlins is routed in the small village community of Quorn in which it is located. Close to the university town of Loughborough, it is well served by a good range of facilities, retaining an old world charm. Quorn is surrounded by beautiful countryside in the heart of Charnwood.
Rawlins is a popular and successful 11-19 Academy serving a diverse catchment area. The Loughborough area recently underwent a major educational restructure from 11-14 high schools and 14-19 upper schools to all through schools. Now that this transition is complete and embedded, Rawlins is ready to move to the next stage of development. Our aim is to be a beacon of inclusion and innovation. Currently we are oversubscribed at Key Stage 3, and we also attract a large number of external pupils to our Sixth Form.
We are an inclusive school having an ASD and a Moderate Learning Difficulties specialist unit on site alongside our school’s SEND support base and Success Centre. Pupils who attend these units are an integrated part of our school community and taught within the school by mainstream staff.
Beyond results, we are very proud of the opportunities which all students have across many successful areas including sport, the arts and charity work. We aim to inspire our pupils to find their talents and their passions through a broad and balanced curriculum; to be curious about learning; to relish a challenge and to have both confidence and resilience.
Principal
Miss Clare Darby
