Permanent - Start September 2025 

An exciting opportunity has arisen to lead an updated Religion & Philosophy department at Prior Park College, Bath an exceptional 11-18 HMC senior day and boarding  school set in a stunning 57-acre estate.

This role arises at a particularly exciting time. With the School flourishing amidst a challenging market, from September 2025 Prior Park embarks on a bold, new GCSE programme that will see students enjoy almost complete choice over the disciplines they study.

This will be unique in the local market and a keystone of the new programme will be a fresh Religion & Philosophy offering at KS4, replacing our current Theology programme. With the full support of the SLT, setting and enacting a vision for this will be a key part of your initial remit as our new Head of Religion & Philosophy.

Ability to teach another Humanities discipline to KS4 is also desirable.

The Department

From September 2025, the updated Religion & Philosophy department at Prior Park will spring from our current Theology department, reflecting a similar change in our GCSE offering. The department will comprise three full-time members of staff including the holder of this role, and it enjoys excellent accommodation in modern, well-equipped classrooms near the centre of our School site. The department will deliver the following courses from September 2025:

• Religious studies, as a non-optional subject, to our KS3 year-groups - L3, F3 and F4.

• Religion & Philosophy, as an optional subject at GCSE

• Core Religious Education, as a compulsory, non-examined, discipline to all students in our GCSE year-groups (L5 and U5)

• TPE (Theology, Philosophy & Ethics) as an optional subject at A-Level In addition to its classrooms, the department enjoys use of the School’s impressive 19th Century grade 1 listed Chapel

Prior Park combines the very best of tradition and progress, with cutting-edge facilities and accommodation, including a pioneering digital learning programme, with all students and staff supplied with powerful Windows 11 devices and seamless integration of lessons, teaching groups and activities via the Microsoft 365 platform. Classrooms are equipped with smart docks and large touch-displays, as well as traditional whiteboards, and teachers exploit the best of both worlds to deliver inspiring lessons for our students.

This post would ideally suit either an existing Head of RP/RE, or equally an impressive Teacher of RP/RE/Theology looking to move up to a leadership role.

We operate a number of flexible working options, suitable for working parents and those looking for a career to suit their busy lifestyles. We also partner with the University of Buckingham to offer PGCE qualifications on the job for exceptional candidates
