Job overview
We are seeking an innovative teacher to join our strong, and growing, Religious Studies team. The successful candidate will have a positive and solution focused approach, applying a ‘can do’, detail orientated attitude to any potential challenges and a desire to change the lives of young people for the better. Candidates interested in the Pupil Premium Lead will demonstrate a strong moral purpose, with the skills to drive forward innovative strategies that remove any barriers for our disadvantaged young people.
As a Church of England school, our ethos and values have faith at their heart and, as such, Religious Studies is a core subject that all students study throughout the 5 years at St Andrew’s. We welcome and celebrate people of all faiths and none, and are seeking to appoint an excellent practitioner who has the skills to help students fully engage with Big Questions and explore their place within the world.
We are a community that has love at its core; for us, this is shown through honesty, transparency and being consistently true to our word. You see in the relationships between staff and students - both in the classrooms and the corridors - and in the excellent pastoral care that every student is given. I have heard many describe being part of our school community as being like ‘family’; both giving and receiving unrelenting love. Our core Christian values run through all that we do, both in daily life and in strategic development.
We have the highest expectations and aspirations for all members of our community, and accept nothing less than an individual’s best. We recognise that we are all unique, with unique training and developmental needs – and we aim to give every staff member the best CPD to enable them to reach their career goals, no matter what that goal may be.
I would strongly recommend visiting the school; I would be delighted to show you around the school, and enable a chance to meet the team.

St Andrew’s C of E High School is a co-educational CofE secondary school in West Sussex, serving pupils from the age of 11-16, situated in Worthing. With a pan of 180 per year group, St Andrew’s is a small and community centred school in which every child is known and loved. Having been graded Good in all areas by Ofsted in April 2023, the school continues on its rapid journey of improvement and growth.
Our curriculum is broad and balanced, and enables all students to develop a love of learning alongside focusing on their academic rigour. As we continue to grow, our enrichment offer grows with us – learning does not happen only within a classroom, and our extra-curricular offer continues to develop to reflect this.
We are driven to achieving excellence in all areas, with a keen focus on the narrative journey of the curriculum. We firmly believe that every child can achieve excellence, and that every child has the right to an excellent education.
St Andrew’s is a community that continually seeks to improve, and therefore embraces change and new ideas. There is so much impact to be made within our community, and we work hard to put them, our students, first in all that we do.
