Teacher of Religious Studies

Teacher of Religious Studies, Birmingham

Swanshurst is a very successful and innovative school for girls with 1,760 students on roll aged 11-19 years. We are part of a strong Training School Alliance.

Ofsted (2013) found Swanshurst to be "a good school where the proportion of students who achieve five good GCSE grades at A*-C is above average" recognising that "students show a good level of mutual respect for each other and their teachers" and also that "most lessons proceed at a fast pace and this ensures that students learn quickly and make good, and sometimes outstanding progress".

We are looking for a well-qualified and committed teacher to join our RS department.

This post would suit either an NQT or a more experienced classroom practitioner who has an interest in or experience of teaching A level. RS is a strong department, regularly delivering high quality results.

Applications are encouraged from teachers who are in sympathy with the philosophy of the department and have an innovative approach to the subject.
