Rawlins is seeking to appoint a dynamic Head of Religious Studies to join our fantastic team and flourishing school. Our ideal candidate will have the ability to teach Religious Studies to KS3 and KS4 (A Level desirable but not essential).
The Religious Studies Department has a strong tradition of working collaboratively and regularly shares good practice and expertise, contributing to everyone’s personal development. This combination of teamwork, an outward-looking approach, and a willingness to reflect internally upon best practice ensures excellent GCSE and A Level results. All staff are encouraged to participate fully within the Department, contributing their ideas to ensure we continue to move forward.
This is an excellent opportunity to join one of Leicestershire’s largest secondary schools, with over 1500 on roll including more than 300 in our A-Level specific Sixth Form. We are a highly inclusive school having our own Autism and Moderate Learning Difficulties specialist units on site alongside our school’s SEND support base. Pupils who attend these units are an integrated part of our school community.
There is a strong sense of community in the school, the village of Quorn, and the surrounding areas with a committed and aspirational parent support base. Teamwork and making the most of every opportunity is a key feature of school life. We aim to inspire our pupils to find their talents and passions through a broad and balanced curriculum; to be curious about learning; to relish a challenge; and to have both confidence and resilience. Applications are therefore welcomed from well-qualified and highly motivated individuals who are keen to work with remarkable young people, providing an exceptional education for all.
