Are you looking for a renowned school with a collaborative, positive, and solution-focused approach to work? We are seeking an exceptional Head of Religious Studies to lead a dynamic and forward-thinking department from January (or earlier). Job Overview As Head of Religious Studies, you will provide academic and strategic leadership for a successful department that delivers Religious Studies across Key Stages 3 to 5. You will inspire both staff and students through your passion for philosophy, theology, and ethics, while shaping an engaging and thought-provoking curriculum that reflects the school’s inclusive ethos.

Your Role as Head of Religious Studies Provide inspirational leadership and vision for the Religious Studies Department. Oversee curriculum planning and ensure high standards of teaching and learning across KS3–KS5. Lead, mentor, and support departmental staff, fostering collaboration and professional development.

Coordinate enrichment opportunities such as guest lectures, interfaith projects, and educational visits. Contribute actively to the Humanities Faculty and wider school community. Experience and Qualifications Degree in Religious Studies, Theology, Philosophy, or a closely related field. A formal teaching qualification with QTS (e.g. PGCE). Proven experience teaching Religious Studies to A Level. Demonstrated leadership or management experience within a school setting. Strong organisational, communication, and interpersonal skills. The legal right to work in the UK. A genuine enthusiasm for promoting inclusive, reflective, and values-based education. Application If you are an ambitious and dedicated Religious Studies professional ready to lead a department that values curiosity, ethics, and intellectual engagement, we would love to hear from you. Please submit your CV and a covering letter outlining your leadership experience and educational philosophy at your earliest opportunity.
