of Religious Education

Our school is a happy school, where relationships are positive,
respect is prevalent, and expectations are high. We challenge all members of our school
community to “be kind, try your best and follow the rules” – our students are
our greatest asset and never fail to inspire and impress staff and
visitors. Staff have high expectations
of all students, whatever
their starting point; students have the drive and
ambition to meet these expectations. Our
GCSE results were once again amongst the highest in Leeds, and we were ranked
in the top fifty 11-16 schools in the country in the Sunday Times League Tables,
testament to the way that our students and staff have worked together to create
a positive, ambitious and caring learning environment.
The school was inspected by Catholic Schools Inspectorate in 2025. Inspectors reviewed and evaluated the
Catholic life and mission of the school, religious education and collective
worship. The school was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ in providing Catholic
Education.
Governors
are seeking to appoint an ambitious and highly motivated teacher to join our
high achieving school as teacher of Religious Education. If you are someone who has a natural passion
and enthusiasm for RE and a strong desire to help all students reach their full
potential, then we would be very pleased to hear from you.
Alongside a track record of strong achievement in Religious
Education, the department provides a supportive learning environment committed
to developing students’ aspiration in achieving their full academic, spiritual
and personal potential. You will be
joining a very strong, committed team of RE specialists who share a commitment
to developing and delivering creative and inspirational lessons to all of our
students, across all year groups.
The school ensures that Religious Education retains its rightful
place at the heart of our academic and wider curriculum offer. All students are challenged to develop their
personal understanding of their own faith and the faith of others in our wider
community, whilst also being supported through the demands of RE as an academic
subject. As a teacher of RE you would
provide outstanding learning opportunities for our students and allow them to
grow in their faith and their understanding of the world in which they live, encouraging
every individual to be the person that God calls us to be.
We
are eager to hear from you if you are:
An excellent practitioner who believes that all students can
achieve. Able to excel in an environment where students genuinely enjoy
school, attend well and have a real love of learning. Ambitious for yourself, your colleagues and our students, and able
to thrive in our highly supportive, collaborative environment. Somebody
