As a Catholic school professional, you will deliver high-quality teaching, contribute to team efforts, reflect on your practice, and seek continuous improvement through innovation and research.

We are seeking an individual who:

• Is an exceptional practitioner with strong subject knowledge and experience of raising achievement across diverse abilities.
• Is highly motivated by the belief that all young people's life chances can be improved.
• Is a well-qualified, industrious, and talented team player committed to lifelong learning and helping pupils develop vital skills and attitudes.
