Teacher of RE

We are recruiting an exceptional team of staff to support the growth of a genuinely transformational school. The successful candidate will join a very strong Religion and Philosophy department and will work closely with the Head of Department to shape Religion and Philosophy provision at the school, embed the school vision and develop an outstanding school that empowers our pupils to take responsibility and drive their own destinies.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow with the school. They will be supported in their development and preparation for future roles. Teaching experience will not be a determining factor — we welcome applications from NQTs as well as more experienced candidates. We will develop every staff member that joins our team, providing one-to-one support, coaching and mentoring and access to extensive network training.

Benefits
Leaders at Soane prevent unnecessary demands on teacher time – meetings, marking and administrative tasks are minimised to ensure teachers can be highly effective. The curriculum and resourcing ensure that teachers rarely plan alone: staff time is used where it is most valuable: working as a team to implement the curriculum for the stud ents in our classrooms.
We have a truly open-door culture where frequent low-stakes feedback is the norm. We value the input of all of our staff and collaborate to ensure the academy continues to improve as it expands. We frequently host teams of domestic and international educators who come to learn from us and help us shape our provision.
Twice as many training days as standard
Weekly staff training designed to meet the needs of the school
Coaching for every teacher
Protected co-planning time
Access to high-quality, regular professional development

About Us
We are a new secondary school in Acton which opened in 2021. We will have 900 students in Years 7- 11 from September 2025. Pupils will be sitting their GCSE exams for the first time and preparing for progression to A-level.

Ark Soane seeks to redefine what is possible in education. Our model is “simplicity delivered expertly”: by delivering an immaculately planned and highly academic curriculum exceptionally well; and by providing our pupils with a compelling aspiration-raising ethos we seek to transform the future of pupils in a highly deprived community.

Behaviour at Soane is exemplary enabling you to deliver exceptional lessons. Pupils are entirely bought-in to the values and ethos of the school and know that they are fortunate to attend a school where the quality of education is exceptional and where love, warmth, respect and the highest standards permeate every interaction. Pupils are a pleasure to teach and you can always expect a “thank you miss” when pupils leave your classroom.
