Teacher of Religious Education

Do you want to teach RE in a Catholic school where students care about their faith?

Would you like to work with Andy Lewis, the famous author of textbooks & RE Blogger?

Come and join us at St Bon's.

• Do you think you could help deliver “a creative and intelligently planned holistic Catholic RE curriculum”?
• Could you be part of “a vision for outstanding teaching and learning which is wholeheartedly embraced by all members of the RE department"  resulting in “a departmental ethos of excellence”?
• Will you help students to think “ethically and theologically, with a high level of engagement with staff and peers”?

We are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher of Catholic Religious Education who will help deliver the curriculum while supporting and promoting the wider mission of the school. 

The RE department is a successful and effective team, as demonstrated in the quotes above from a recent Diocese visit. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to contribute and help develop  this team with a commitment to the very best teaching, using the most effective techniques and latest research. 

The school has a bespoke Key Stage 3 curriculum based on The Way, The Truth and The Life. We follow the Edexcel GCSE Spec A Catholic Christianity and Judaism at Key Stage 4 and Edexcel A Level in Philosophy, Ethics and New Testament at Key Stage 5. We also have a 6th Form RE programme.

We expect that you will have evidence of excellent classroom practice and high expectations of pupil attainment.
