Are you passionate about exploring diverse cultures and beliefs? Join our dedicated team at Greenwood Academy and inspire students to engage critically with the world's religions and ethical questions. We seek a dedicated individual with a deep understanding of the subject and a genuine passion for imparting knowledge to young minds.
As a Teacher of Religious Education, you will:
- Deliver engaging and thought-provoking lessons exploring the beliefs, practices, and moral dilemmas in various religious traditions.
- Foster an environment of open dialogue and critical thinking, encouraging students to explore their own beliefs and values while respecting those of others.
- Cover diverse topics, including ethics, philosophy, and social justice, to develop students' moral and spiritual awareness.
- Support students in developing their analytical and evaluative skills by studying sacred texts, historical events, and contemporary issues.
- Organise and facilitate visits to places of worship, guest speaker sessions, and interfaith dialogues to enhance students' understanding and appreciation of different faith traditions.
Whether you are an experienced teacher or an Early Career Teacher, this role offers an opportunity to make a significant impact by teaching across Key Stages 3 and 4.
To support this, we offer a wide range of opportunities beyond the core curriculum, whether in the Arts, which include school productions, dance, drama, and music performances, or through our extensive sports programme, which takes advantage of grass and 4G pitches, a Sports hall with a specialist dance studio, and a Multi-Use Games Area.
Our state-of-the-art building and world-class facilities use the latest technology, including the Google Education platform, to enhance the learning environment. Most importantly, children and young adults at Greenwood Academy tell us they enjoy coming to school and feel safe and secure.
