About this Role
St Mary\'s School is seeking a dynamic and inspirational graduate to lead our Religious Studies department. The successful candidate must be able to teach Religious Studies up to and including A Level, and, as the specialist RS teacher, be able to support committed non-specialist members of staff who teaches some Key Stage 3 lessons. You should have stamina, good humour and be able to demonstrate strong organisational skills. Good ICT skills are essential and candidates should be aware that technology is used to enhance learning throughout the curriculum.

Students have a proven track record of success at GCSE and A level and the school is well resourced, having spent recent years creating a strong curriculum for all students. The department organises trips to local places of worship as well as taking students to conferences and events in London. The department also leads the organisation of workshops, recognising major religious festivals, in our 'Spiritual Hub' a multi-faith space in the former school chapel, which is located next to the dedicated subject classroom.
