The job requirements are detailed below.

Amplify Education is a dynamic new multi-academy trust of 22 schools across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, formed through the thoughtful and planned merger of TiLA and CST. United by a shared vision, we are a bold voice for Bristol - committed to building belief in every young person, expanding opportunities, nurturing potential, and strengthening citizenship.

We are ambitious, reflective, and collaborative - driven to improve outcomes for young people while working together, learning from one another and continually strengthening our practice. If you are looking to make a real difference within a forward-thinking and supportive Trust, Amplify Education could be the place for you.

We invite you to join our team at St Katherine's School.

Our mission:

We are St Katherine's - a nurturing and inclusive community, united in the pursuit of excellence

The school was judged to be meeting the expected standard across all areas by Ofsted in March 2026.

We are located in a beautiful rural setting on the edge of Bristol. Our thriving, diverse community is founded on our core values of respect, responsibility and resilience; we actively encourage everyone within our community to 'live and breathe' our values every day. The school aims to create an environment where all students feel confident, secure and valued to help them perform at their best.

Our ambition is to achieve an average grade of 5.5 and 0.35+ VA in our sixth form: our work is focused on creating the conditions where every student, regardless of context, can achieve success.

We are committed to continuous professional learning and offer both internal and external leadership training including the NPQML and NPQSL programmes, leader profiling and shadowing opportunities. Coaching is embedded within our school to support and develop teaching alongside leadership and career progression for all staff. In addition, we actively promote opportunities for Trust wide working and collaboration across the trust is integral to our development.
