would like to invite applications from dynamic, enthusiastic, and committed

the RSL and Sociology curriculum at KS3 and KS4, ensuring high-quality teaching

and positive outcomes for all students. In addition, the successful candidate

The

successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to high standards in the

Subject Leader and wider team to support the ongoing development of teaching,

learning, and curriculum provision.

students in Religion, Society and Life and/or Sociology. We are informed by the Hampshire Living

Difference IV Religious Education Locally Agreed Syllabus at KS3, and offer the

AQA GCSE Religious Studies A (focusing on Christianity and Buddhism) and the

Eduqas GCSE Sociology course at KS4. We

are a very popular GCSE choice, and students enjoy their studies and the skills

and knowledge that they develop with us. The department encourages innovative and

engaging methods of teaching and learning and is always looking for ways to

develop practice and provision.

HTC

is committed to providing the highest quality of learning for all students in

every lesson and fully supports staff through induction and professional

development. We also offer an exceptionally strong Early Career Teacher (ECT)

programme, with dedicated mentoring, regular instructional coaching, reduced

timetable, and a carefully sequenced training programme to support teachers at

the start of their career. ECTs benefit from a highly supportive departmental

and whole-school culture, ensuring they are able to develop confidence, refine

their practice, and thrive as effective classroom practitioners.

We

have an OFSTED rating of outstanding and good (November2024). HTC is

described as a ‘college where students’ academic achievements and their

personal development is extremely strong’. Ofsted highlighted the personalised

education and innovative curriculum, the calm atmosphere, and the well-behaved

students who are highly respectful and have positive attitudes to learning.
