From September 2026

MPR / UPR  

St Edward’s School is a high-performing school with an exceptional RE department. Our school is heavily oversubscribed and enjoys an excellent reputation for combining high expectations of all, with warm relational approaches to learning.

We are looking for an inspirational RE Teacher to join our strong and supportive team. As a professional you will become part of a caring organisation deeply focused on securing outstanding futures for young people, whilst looking after the wellbeing and professional fulfilment of our staff.

This is an exciting opportunity to bring your own experience and potential to help us take the subject, and our school to new heights. The ability to teach RE to the highest level from KS3 to KS5 is desirable but not essential.

What are we looking for in you? Applicants will have experience of teaching in the subject, and the potential to become an outstanding practitioner. You will share our vision for holistic education that protects the creativity and professionalism of teachers. You will also have a sincere commitment to our ethos and vision as a school, and our drive for continuous improvement.

As a school we know that happy and successful staff create a brilliant learning environment for our fantastic students. We offer great facilities, tailored CPD and a highly motivated staff community. In June 2024 our school was a finalist for the Staff Wellbeing School of the Year in the prestigious TES School Awards celebrating the culture and ethos around staff wellbeing. 

If you would like to visit us, or have a conversation before making an application, please contact us to arrange a visit or call. We would love to hear from you!
