Job overview

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and innovative teacher of Religious Studies. The successful candidate will be able to teach to A Level, and the ability to teach a second subject (at any level) would be considered favourably. The role would suit a teacher who sees their role as being to open the eyes of pupils to the world around them – to question and critique accepted norms and to engage positively in the diversity of the modern world. An interest in debating and public speaking would be of interest to the school, and would help to cement the type of curiosity that we look to develop through the teaching of Religious Studies.

About Cokethorpe School

Cokethorpe is an independent, day school for boys and girls aged four to eighteen, set in 150 acres of glorious Oxfordshire parkland, just two miles south of Witney and ten miles to the west of Oxford.

The School is unique in many ways; not only is our setting unsurpassed but we are also one of the only co-educational day schools in Oxfordshire with both Prep and Senior schools on the same site. 

At the heart of our School is the belief that our pupils dig deeper, reach higher, and stretch further when they feel the embrace of supportive peers and the oversight of enthusiastic and experienced teachers who know when and how to challenge them. This sense of community is fostered by the close-knit House system where young people develop a deep sense of belonging; it is forged around the close, working relationship of the small classrooms, where teachers engage the intellect, encourage students to grapple with ideas, and teach lifelong respect and humility.

We are a happy, strong and vibrant community, in which individuals are generous of spirit, inspire friendship and support one another. Our teachers, pupils and parents value the School's small class sizes and emphasis on delivering liberal educational principles in an environment that celebrates individual achievements equally, whatever their passions might be.
