The Oriel RE Department
INNOVATIVE, MOTIVATED AND SUCCESSFUL
• The Oriel RE team currently consists of 2 full-time and one part time
teacher. There are three full-size RE classrooms all with interactive whiteboard,
projector and teacher’s PC, along with a dedicated Humanities Resource
Room which offers a communal workspace for Humanities Faculty
teachers. Additionally smaller seminar rooms are available for Sixth Form
lessons.
• The RE teachers at Oriel aim to provide every student with the opportunity
to develop their religious and ethical knowledge. Every student at KS4
sits the short-course GCSE, with many taking on the full-course GCSE option.
• Our curriculum covers a range of world religions across all key stages, with
particular emphasis on Christianity and Islam at KS4 and following the OCR
specification at A level. We offer a lot of opportunity to adapt your teaching
to your own expertise and the needs of your students. Oriel RE teachers
encourage students to extend their RE knowledge by engaging in further
reading and promoting independence at KS4 and KS5. Our approach
to teaching interleaves the necessary skills with establishing a passion and
enthusiasm for the subject beyond the classroom. Our team is committed
to ensuring that every student is successful in their journey studying RE at
Oriel.
We are looking to appoint someone who…...
- Is knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of Religious Education who is motivated to support students in achieving their full potential and who wants to join a committed and enthusiastic team.
- Will lead in providing first-class teaching and learning for our students; as well as being an excellent collaborator to drive the knowledge agenda and pedagogywithin the department.
- Has experience of teaching RE across KS3 and KS4.
- Has either experience of or a strong desire to teach RE at KS5.
• Is willing to support the department in delivering extra-curricular opportunities,
and study-supports sessions guiding students with their on-going learning at GCSE
and A-Level.
We have excellent support for NQTs and would welcome applications from newly
qualified teachers who would like to grow and develop in an innovative and forward
thinking department; or more experienced teachers. Oriel has a detailed NQT training
package praised by West Sussex and actively encourages CPD throughout the
school with a comprehensive program for teachers at all stages of their careers.
