Job overview
TEACHER OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS
0.6 – 1.0 FTE, one year fixed term contract, from September 2018; MPR/UPR
We are seeking an enthusiastic and well-qualified graduate to join this excellent and experienced department. Ideally, we are seeking someone with an expertise in the Philosophy of Religion but this is not essential.
We are able to offer a one year 0.6 FTE contract, however, as we are also looking to appoint a Psychology teacher (please see advert in Psychology section) there is the possibility of a full time position for someone who is able to deliver both subjects. For applicants who are in their first year or two of teaching, the post could be full time; and due to the highly experienced and effective nature of the department it would particularly suit such applicants.
Manwood’s was deemed Outstanding in all categories by Ofsted in April 2012 and is situated in a beautiful area of Kent, close to coast, countryside, the channel crossings at Dover and Ashford, and has very good connections to London (HS1 trains to Kings Cross and the A2/M2 by car). Local house prices are considerably lower than those in London and the Home Counties.
For further details and a downloadable application form please visit the vacancies section of the school website (www.srms.kent.sch.uk) or contact the Head’s PA, Mrs Anna Nicholson, on head@srms.kent.sch.uk or 01304 610206. Any offer of employment will be subject to a health check, two satisfactory references and a satisfactory DBS Enhanced Disclosure.
CLOSING DATE: noon on Monday 26 March 2018

About Sir Roger Manwood's School
The School was established in 1563 by Sir Roger Manwood in order to educate boys of Sandwich. The original school building still stands but as you may imagine a great deal has changed over the years. The School moved from its original small site in the middle of Sandwich to its present large and leafy site on the outskirts of town in 1895 and has grown from a one form entry, boys school to now being a five form entry, mixed school of over 1000 young people.
The School has a tangible warm, friendly atmosphere and is renowned locally for the care, guidance and support it offers its students. We are proud of our reputation for being an inclusive and welcoming school and strive to focus just as much on the development of the whole person as well as on academic progress.
We offer over 20 subjects at GCSE and Advanced Level and our examination results are consistently of a very high standard. The vast majority of our sixth formers go on to university; most progress to their first choice destination and a high percentage undertake courses at the most highly regarded and competitive universities.
Extra-curricular opportunities at the school are many and varied, and they form a particularly striking feature of school life. As well as the wide array of weekly clubs and societies, there are also many international ties. These include the following annual trips:
- sixth formers to our partner schools in The Gambia and India;
- French taking Y7 to Lille and Y8 to Boulogne on day trips and Y10 on a week-long residential to Paris;
- Spanish taking Y10 to Barcelona;
- Geography taking Y10 to Naples and Y12 to Switzerland;
- History and Politics taking Y11 to Berlin;
- the Combined Cadet Force organising several weekend camps in the local area as well as a summer camp each July;
- a cross-year ski trip to Austria each Easter.
In addition, staff often organise one-off trips to overseas locations. Recent examples include Vietnam (World Challenge), Borneo (Biology) and Sri Lanka (Sports).
The School is particularly proud of the very large numbers that enrol and complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award each year - over 90 at Bronze, 40 at Silver and 25 at Gold.
Our sports teams often progress to the final stages of competitions and many individual boys and girls represent the county, region or even country in sports as varied as athletics, boxing, cricket, hockey, rugby and sailing. One of our alumnae currently plays for England Women’s Cricket Team, another was the Captain of England Women’s Hockey team for many years and yet another was the Commonwealth decathlon champion.
Music and Drama are both extremely strong at SRMS – concerts involving a large number of students are a fixture in the calendar at the end of every term and School Productions include a huge number of students from across the entire school.
The school is situated in a beautiful area of Kent – it is near several seaside towns (e.g. Deal, Margate, Whitstable) and yet St Pancras International is only around an hour away via the High Speed rail network and the channel crossings at Dover and Ashford are within 30 minutes by car. House prices in the local area are significantly lower than those in most other areas of the South East.
