As a Catholic Christian community, we offer a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to engage with wonderfully able students who with the right guidance can be inspired to achieve the highest grades.  The school has a very successful and effective induction programme for new colleagues.  We are committed to developing leaders and preparing middle leaders for more senior roles by supporting them through nationally recognised leadership qualifications and opportunities to lead initiatives to improve the progress of our young people.

We are very determined in our mission to transform the lives of young people and create outstanding life chances through educational achievement.  We are looking for an innovative, outstanding teacher to inspire students of all ages and abilities.

Do you have what it takes to realise our dream? Can you inspire young people to ‘dream the impossible and achieve beyond their wildest imagination?’  Be part of our life transforming team!

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  The post is subject to an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
