Teacher of Religious Education, Philosophy and Ethics
This position is full time, permanent and to commence in September 2025
For September 2025 we are seeking a highly qualified teacher of RS, Philosophy and Ethics at this 11-18 grammar school with a co-educational Sixth Form. This post offers an exciting opportunity for someone looking to teach motivated and able students in an innovative and high achieving school.
We have 1370 students, of which 450 are in the Sixth Form. In 2024 the school was judged to be Outstanding in a full section 5 inspection in every category. It is regarded as one of the leading grammar schools in the country. As lead in the Teaching School Hub – Buckinghamshire, we provide an exciting range of professional development opportunities.
As well as the subject being a key feature of the Key Stage 3 curriculum, we have thriving GCSE and A level cohorts. We deliver a non-compulsory GCSE (usually opted for by at least 6of the year group), following the Christianity, Buddhism and Philosophical and Ethical Themes options of the AQA Religious StudiesA course. At A level we follow the OCR Religious Studies (Philosophy,Ethics and Theology) course, running two sets in each year group.
Beyond Sixth Form, we regularly see around 30 of our A Level cohort go on to study Philosophy, Theology or a related degree at university, including several students at Oxford and Cambridge. Although we’re not solely focused on exam grades we consistently achieve fantastic results. In 2024, 80.5% of students achieved grade 7-9 at GCSE, and 86% achieved A*/ B at A Level.
As well as our enviable track record of academic performance, we are equally proud of our focus on character, and our development of young people who will go on and improve their lives and our society with their education. Our core vision, to deliver education of excellence with integrity, is underpinned by values of Aspiration, Kindness and Resilience.
We offer excellent support to ECTs throughout their induction and beyond that there are excellent opportunities for development.
