Job overview
We are looking to appoint a dynamic and innovative Teacher of RE to join our thriving Humanities department from 1 September 2015. The Humanities department, of which RE is part, is an extremely experienced and supportive one. The department currently has five full time members of staff and is a lead partner school for a local Initial Teacher Training organisation and as such we are joined by three trainees during the course of the year. We welcome applications from well qualified RE specialists who are seeking a challenge in a supportive and high-performing environment. This role, which will allow us to add to our RE expertise would suit an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge or an exceptional NQT.
RE is part of our core curriculum and all students study full course at GCSE. Last year 100% of students achieved A*-C in full course, a testament to the already exceptional teaching within the department. At Key Stage Three we have constructed a knowledge driven, rich and varied curriculum which both challenges and inspires our students thanks to its academic rigour.
All students are taught in dedicated and well-resourced classrooms and students value the high quality teaching they get at Bedford Free School. The successful candidate will join a department considered to be the core strength of the school and will have ample opportunity to contribute to the wider life of our busy, successful school.
