Teacher of Religious Studies (Part Time Maternity Cover)
Are you passionate about inspiring young minds and fostering critical thinking about faith, ethics, and philosophy? We are seeking a dedicated Teacher of Religious Studies to join our dynamic team.
At the Skinners' Kent Academy, the Religious Studies Curriculum aims to provide students with a rich knowledge of the beliefs and practices of global religions and traditions, along with a deep understanding of those with no faith. The curriculum aims to empower students to appraise perspectives, think independently and come to their own sense of agency.
In Year 7, 8 and 9, the MYP RS curriculum has recently had an exciting overhaul aligned with the IB 'Individuals and Societies' MYP programme and assessment criteria. Students study a range of topical enquiry questions including 'Does religion make us good?' and 'How do religious people express belief?' Our students thrive on studying the rich history of world religions and diverse world views. They enjoy engaging in challenging philosophical debate and applying this to their written work.
At GCSE, the Academy has seen a significant rise in the number of students opting to take RS. In 2024, 100% of RS students attained grades 4-9. Our current GCSE cohorts are enticed by the study of RS and are hardworking students. They enjoy the rigour of the classroom as well as the extracurricular provision including visits to places of worship, lectures delivered by British theologians and theatre visits.
This position is a part time, maternity cover role that will commence on 28 August 2025.
We reserve the right to make an appointment before the closing date, so early applications are encouraged.
The Skinners’ Kent Academy Trust is an equal opportunities employer, committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants are subject to an enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check and satisfactory employment references.
