Headteacher

“This school expects the very highest standards of behaviour and achievement. Pupils, who are exceptionally well-prepared in every way for their future lives, consistently meet these expectations” (Ofsted September 2014)

Due to the retirement of our long serving Headteacher, the Governing Body seeks to appoint a practising Catholic with a strong personal faith.

The successful candidate will:-

• Have a clear understanding of leadership in a Catholic school
• Have the ability and vision to ensure high standards of teaching and learning and to foster the spiritual and moral development of every child
• Be strongly driven, with high expectations and the ability to nurture, lead and inspire both staff and pupils
• Have energy and enthusiasm to lead the school on the next stage of its journey

We can offer you:-

• A happy, welcoming school and parish community with an outstanding Catholic ethos
• Children who are eager and enthusiastic to learn
• A supportive and committed Governing body
• A firm commitment to your ongoing professional development with regular coaching and support in your Headship
• Hardworking, enthusiastic staff and supportive parents.

“This is an outstanding school both in its Catholic life and in the teaching and learning of RE” (Section 48 October 2014)
