Description

We are seeking a Head of Religious Education who is dedicated, enthusiastic and able to lead the RE team here at Queen Elizabeth's High School from 1 September 2023.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone to head an already successful department and to continue to raise and develop the profile of RE.


The role would ideally suit an individual who, along with the appropriate qualifications, is extremely motivated and enthusiastic with highly developed leadership and management skills.

The ability to teach up to and including A Level RE is essential.


The majority of the teaching occurs in a specialised set of classrooms, all of which are equipped with interactive whiteboards.

The department is well resourced with textbooks, software, and other equipment.


The RE Faculty
The department has a thorough Scheme of Learning in place with lesson plans/resources.

These are reviewed regularly as a part of the department's commitment to ensuring that RE lessons are relevant, informative and challenging.

Common Assessments are also identified within the Scheme of Learning and support the learning/progress of students.


The RE Curriculum


At KS4 some students opt for Full Course GCSE (AQA specification A 8062: Christianity & Hinduism) as part of the broader options system.

Historically numbers have usually enabled one/two GCSE teaching groups in each year group.

Students who do not opt to study the Full Course GCSE will follow CORE RE with the possible opportunity to be entered for the short course examination.

(AQA 8061:
Christianity & Buddhism)

At A Level, students follow the AQA specification 7062 and study two components: 1) Philosophy of Religion and Themes, and 2) Study of Religion and Dialogues. Some students have historically also gone on to successfully study religion/philosophy/theology further.


The department presently comprises of two enthusiastic RE specialist teachers; (the Head of Department/Head of Humanities, and a part time member of staff).

Presently three other members of staff also contribute to the RE department, with one of these also trained to deliver RE at GCSE level.
