Teacher of RE
| Job Title: | Teacher of RE |
|---|---|
| Salary: | MPS/UPS |
| Job Term: | FTE/PT |
| Appointment: | Permanent |
| Place of work: | St Benedict’s Catholic School |
Required from September or Sooner
We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic teacher of RE to join this key department in our school. As a Catholic school, RE is a core subject and all students in the school continue their studies in this area throughout the school. Applications from those who share the Catholic faith, have no faith or are of any other faith are all welcome although the successful candidate will need to be confident in teaching within the context of a Catholic school curriculum. The CCRS (Catholic Certificate of Religious Studies) is therefore advantageous but not essential. Applications from ECTs and experienced colleagues are welcome. The ideal candidate should be passionate about their subject, be committed to raising standards by inspiring and motivating pupils and should be qualified to teach RE across the age range of the school.
Our school is committed to our mission as a Catholic community and seeks to help all our young people achieve their potential both academically and personally. We can offer a positive environment where you will be encouraged to progress further in your career should you wish, supported by a team of staff who are hardworking and dedicated to the school.
We will review applications as they are received so an early application is advised and we reserve the right to close the advert early if an applicant is appointed before the closing date.
St Benedict's received a section 8 Ofsted inspection in April 2022
The report states that:
St Benedict’s Catholic School continues to be a good school.
It goes on to say that:
Pupils say that their school is a happy place where they feel safe and accepted. They know that their teachers look after them and provide them with the support they need.
Pupils demonstrate very positive attitudes to their work. It is important for them to be the best they can be. They are also respectful, kind and compassionate towards each other, their teachers and visitors to the school. Older students are mature and self-assured, and support younger pupils in and out of the classroom.
Pupils interact well with each other and with their teachers. They help each other in class. They listen carefully and appreciate others’ hard work. Instances of low-level disruption are very rare. Bullying hardly exists. Should it happen, it is dealt with swiftly.
Pupils flourish as a result of the school’s powerful caring ethos. Pupils are open minded and confident. They embrace diversity, respect difference and understand other world religions. Pupils say, ‘It is a school where it is okay to be different.’
Please see the full report (of which we are very proud!)
