An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Cheltenham Bournside School as a Teacher of Religious Studies.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of Religious Studies to join our lively RS department.

The Religious Studies Department at Bournside consists of Head of RS and a team of 3 specialist teachers.
