We are seeking a Subject Lead for Religious Studies. The Religious Studies department has one main teacher who is the Subject Lead and he/she is supported by a member of staff who also teaches Geography. For GCSE, the Department follows the Pearson IGCSE specification (4RS1) and at A Level, we follow the OCR specification (H573). However, we are open to the new subject lead choosing the exam board they prefer. We teach a broad academic range and are required to stretch the very bright, as well as nurture those pupils who need support. In terms of the age range of our pupils, we teach from Year 7 to GCE A Level.
As a member of our team, you will be expected to uphold and promote the School’s ethos and reputation, both within the community and beyond, consistently demonstrating the highest professional standards. You will also be expected to commit to the life of our busy boarding school, carrying out academic, pastoral and boarding duties with professionalism and as instructed by the Head.
Stonar is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 2 to 18, which was rated excellent by ISI in October 2018 for both pupil achievement and personal development - a standard maintained in our recent 2023 inspection. Our pupils regularly achieve results which are beyond expectations both academically and personally and we pride ourselves on our ability to nurture the learning needs of every individual in a respectful, supportive and globally-minded community. All staff are expected to proactively support the aims of the School.
Stonar is situated in over eighty acres of beautiful Wiltshire countryside, yet only a twenty minute drive from the World Heritage City of Bath and within easy reach of the M4 corridor. The School benefits from being part of Globeducate, a forward-thinking international group of schools, giving pupils and staff the opportunity to be an active part of a globally-minded community.
