The best Religious Education lessons do far more than teach students about different faiths and beliefs.
They encourage young people to ask questions, challenge assumptions, explore ethical issues, and develop a deeper understanding of the diverse world around them.
We're working with an Outstanding secondary school in Haringey that has built an excellent reputation for its Humanities provision and is now looking to appoint a Teacher of Religious Education from September 2026.
The School
This is a large, oversubscribed 11–18 secondary school with a thriving sixth form and a reputation for combining strong academic outcomes with exceptional pastoral care.
Students are ambitious, respectful, and genuinely engaged in their learning. The school serves a diverse North London community and takes great pride in creating an inclusive environment where every student is encouraged to achieve their full potential.
Results across the school are consistently strong, with students progressing to Russell Group universities, competitive apprenticeships, and a wide range of ambitious destinations.
Staff retention is excellent, something frequently highlighted by visiting candidates. Teachers speak positively about the support they receive from leaders, the collaborative culture across departments, and the school's genuine commitment to staff wellbeing and workload management.
The leadership team is highly visible, approachable, and committed to creating an environment where teachers can focus on delivering excellent lessons while continuing to develop professionally.
The Department
The Humanities faculty is one of the most successful areas of the school and enjoys a strong reputation for both academic achievement and student engagement.
Religious Education is a valued subject throughout the school, attracting enthusiastic students who enjoy discussing contemporary issues, ethical dilemmas, philosophy, and the role of religion in modern society.
The department benefits from excellent resources, strong examination outcomes, and a collaborative culture where teachers regularly share ideas, resources, and best practice.
Students are thoughtful, articulate, and willing to engage in meaningful discussion, making lessons both rewarding and enjoyable to teach.
The Role
You will teach Religious Education across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, delivering engaging lessons that develop critical thinking, analytical skills, and intellectual curiosity.
The school is looking for someone who can inspire students while contributing positively to a supportive and ambitious department.
Applications are welcomed from both experienced teachers and ambitious Early Career Teachers.
