Teacher of Philosophy and Ethics - United Kingdom - Independent Schools'​ Bursars Association

Description

Hampton School has a healthy tradition of Religious Studies and Philosophy at all levels. The GCSE and AS Level courses are popular and extremely well-supported, regularly drawing some of the School's brightest pupils.

Around 75% of our Upper Sixth cohorts over the past three years have chosen to pursue these subjects at university.

Indeed, we regularly send students to read Philosophy and Theology courses at Oxford, Cambridge, and other leading universities. Our aim is to provide genuinely imaginative, varied, and challenging courses at all levels in the School.

Although full guidelines and support material are provided for all the courses we teach, the ethos of the Department is to encourage individual teachers to shape the basic themes and material according to their own enthusiasms and specialisms, and the developing interests of the class groups.

Hampton is one of the country's foremost independent schools, with a commitment to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion.

The School was judged to be excellent (the highest possible recognition) across all categories by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in May 2023.

Inspectors found that Hamptonians' achievements are exceptional across academic and co-curricular areas of School life and concluded that 'outstanding analytical and thinking skills' lead to academic achievements 'far and above national and worldwide averages'.

We seek to create a classroom ethos of collaboration and discussion, in response to a variety of high-quality stimuli.

The last few years have seen a significant growth in the range of departmental resources, and we are excited by the enrichment that this continuing process provides.
