Religious Studies Teacher
MPS/UPS + potential TLR
Permanent position
Carr Manor Community School (CMCS) is an all-through school at an exciting phase of expansion and development across both our primary and secondary phases. We are proud of our caring and inclusive reputation and have a strong team of professionals committed to developing and delivering a broad curriculum to children aged 2-19.
We are one of the founding partners of the Leeds Learning Alliance and we are looking forward to further developing our partnerships over the forthcoming months and years.
We are now looking to appoint a dynamic, innovative and skilful Religious Studies Teacher with team management experience, who is able to demonstrate:
- An understanding of, and commitment to, an inclusive school ethos, working restoratively and ensuring the well-being of each child.
- A passion for Religious Studies, interested in inspiring pupils and looking to be part of a vibrant, forward-thinking and successful team.
- A successful track record of raising Religious Studies attainment and progress for pupils of all abilities.
- A commitment to providing a highly effective learning environment and a willingness to positively embrace change, challenge and opportunities.
It is essential that the post-holder shares our school’s ethos, which is firmly rooted in a restorative approach and the following values: to ‘Know our children well’: to be ‘Partners in Learning’: to develop ‘Character for Learning’; to ‘Enjoy and Achieve’. We firmly believe that in order to be successful in our work we need to be prepared and able to ‘do things differently and do different things’. We work relationally and restoratively with pupils, families, partner organisations and with each other. This is a key reason why Ofsted 2023 commented: ‘Exceptional does not do this school justice’
We significantly invest in the development and training of all colleagues who are equally happy to share their expertise, skills and knowledge across the organisation. If you are looking to be stretched and challenged within a positive and creative staff team and you have a genuine desire to make a positive difference to our children, please submit an application form, covering letter and CV to hrrecruitment@carrmanor.org.uk by 12 noon on Friday 27th September 2024.
