Job overview

"Love of God Love of people Love of learning Love of life"

Our mission statement clearly states our principles. We know that a school that lives these principles is one where children thrive, parents have confidence and staff are nurtured and developed; all experience the "fullness of life" in their time at the school.

The Governors are seeking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational full time Science Teacher for a fixed term contract up to August 2015.

Teaching in both KS3 and KS4, this role would suit an NQT or an experienced qualified teacher, ideally with a Science degree. You will be required to teach all three sciences, Biology, Physics and Chemistry to KS3 and KS4.

Our school is an 11 - 18 Catholic High School with 772 on roll (118 in the Sixth Form), serving a wide area and a diverse school population in terms of social background.

All teaching staff are form tutors and this allows them to fully contribute to the Catholic life of the school in their work. Whilst applications from practising Catholics are highly desired we are open to applications from candidates who share our values and Christian principles - Blessed William Howard is a Catholic school embracing children of all faiths; not a school exclusively for children who are Catholic by faith.

You must submit a Catholic Education Service application form for this post. If you would like to apply, please contact Mrs S Marshall, Headteacher's PA at the email address below or by telephone, for an application pack and application form, or simply download the details from the school's website.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and anyone applying to work in our school is expected to share this commitment.

This position is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure check under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Further details regarding this check are available from schools or by visiting www.crb.gov.uk

Closing date for applications: Wednesday 22 October 2014 at 12.00 noon
Date of interview: Friday 24 October 2014

About Blessed William Howard Catholic School

Our school is a successful 11-18 Catholic High School with 839 on roll (110 in the Sixth Form).  Blessed William Howard Catholic High School has been providing secondary education in the heart of Stafford for over 50 years. 

We serve the Catholic community in a wide geographical area in the Archdiocese of Birmingham, stretching up to the village of Brewood on the edge of Wolverhampton, 13 miles to the south and up to the town of Stone, 8 miles to the north. Our admissions policy enables parents who want a faith education for their child to join our community.

Through the teachings of the Catholic Church and our vibrant liturgical life we open paths of discovery, helping children to understand themselves, others and how they may live fulfilled lives, making a positive difference through who and how they are.  Our school offers a haven where all are welcome to flourish as individuals academically, socially, morally and spiritually.

The school became part of Holy Trinity Catholic Multi Academy Company in March 2016.
