St Bede's School

Business and Economics department at St Bede's

We are seeking a teacher of business to join us from January 2027, on a full-time basis.

The courses offered at KS4 and KS5:

• GCSE Business (AQA)
• A Level Economics (AQA)
• A Level Business (AQA)
• Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate in Business (OCR)

Department Overview

The department is a popular choice for students at both KS4 and KS5. At A Level, we run two classes in years 12 and 13 for economics and one for business. We currently run six or seven GCSE classes depending on demand. We also run one CTEC class in year 13.

The department prides itself on creating a warm and supportive atmosphere and teamwork is highly valued. There is an experienced team with strong subject knowledge and an excellent understanding of the exam board requirements. We take a collegial approach to our work and there are opportunities for all colleagues to contribute to the department's curriculum and resources. This approach has helped the department to develop very strong student relationships and buy-in to the subject. This is reflected by the popularity of the courses and our consistently strong results. While there would be opportunities for applicants to teach across the full range of subjects, the successful candidate's individual timetable would be negotiated according to their experience, qualifications and interests.

Results

Business and economics A Level results have been strong over recent years with business grades and economics grades at A

• -B and above regularly surpassing national trends. Additionally, many students go on to study those subjects at university. The GCSE results are consistently strong, with 79% achieving grade 4+ in 2026 and 85% of CTEC students achieved a D/D. The department adds significant value to pupils compared to national results.

Extra curricular

The department provides numerous opportunities for students to stretch their understanding of the subjects away from lessons. These include outside speakers from economic think tanks, lecture visits to the Polecon conference, and day trips to local businesses such as Monte Forte pizzeria. The highlight is an annual trip to Brussels which includes the European parliament, The Bank of Belgium, a chocolatier, and a brewery.

Support for pupils

We pride ourselves on the level of support and care we provide to the students within the department. This support covers a range of areas including exam technique and specific gaps in subject knowledge. The department offers separate sessions for each of our courses and all colleagues are encouraged to take part. We feel this support makes a significant difference to students' chances of success.

Why work for us?

• St Bede's is a good place to work. Staff are friendly and supportive of one another: relationships between staff and pupils were recognised by Ofsted as 'exceptionally strong'.
• ECTs benefit from a well developed and comprehensive induction period programme. More experienced teachers are given the opportunity to participate in training which will help them to develop skills needed for middle and senior management roles.
• There are good on-site catering facilities. Staff are able to use the fitness facilities free of charge and to participate in sports activities.
• Music is a big part of school life and staff are welcome to join our senior choir and instrumental groups.
• We have a social event at the end of each term as well as occasional staff trips to the theatre.
• The school is situated in Redhill, a commuter belt town in the Surrey Fringe area. We are close to the M25 and there are good transport links to London and the South Coast from Redhill station which is about 15 minutes walk from the school. We also benefit from being within walking distance of beautiful countryside. Many staff live locally, others commute from Guildford, South London, Kent and East & West Sussex.
