Lead Practitioner of Religious Education

As an established, successful and experienced teacher, we understand you want to help every student, irrespective of their background or abilities, to succeed. In short, you want to make a positive difference to your students’ lives. At Lode Heath School, we also want you to support other members of our team to achieve this.

We also understand that to achieve your aims, you need outstanding support and development that’s shaped to meet your needs and aspirations so you can, in turn, do the same for others. We offer first-rate induction and CPD programmes that include links with other schools, plus the chance to work directly with other Lead Practitioners and Senior Leaders as we work together to achieve the best for all in our school, its students and staff.

As for the culture here at Lode Heath, it’s all about working collaboratively and supporting each other to deliver exceptional teaching and learning for all of our students. That’s at the centre of everything we do. You’ll find a strong peer-to-peer support structure in place where we work together to develop each other’s skills.

Nowhere is this truer than in our Humanities Faculty of which our Philosophy team are a part. Here our ambitious, forward-thinking and rapidly evolving team is driven by fresh thinking and new ideas. We’re pioneering innovative approaches to marking and feedback that make the best use of peer- and self-assessment, as well as developing students’ wider skills, like teamworking and presentation.

There’s an exceptional environment waiting for you outside of work too. One of the most prosperous towns in the Midlands, Solihull offers plenty of superb amenities from its thriving shopping centre through to lively bars and first-class restaurants. Close to Birmingham Airport, the NEC and the new Resorts World development, it also has excellent transport links to Birmingham city centre and beyond.

Lode Heath School is a member of the Arden Multi-Academy Trust where we are committed in working together to help and enrich the experiences of all within the AMAT family; we have a clear vision to generate self-belief, self-worth, esteem and confidence in our young people who can then display the ambition and aspiration in achieving high educational outcomes.
