Fixed Term Contract – 1 year maternity cover

Required from September 2025

The Governors wish to appoint an excellent Teacher of H&S Care, Child Development and Sociology for this 1 year fixed term post. This post is full-time and should appeal to both recently qualified teachers or to more experienced candidates, looking to develop further in an outstanding school. Applicants do not necessarily need to have a qualification in H&S Care, Child Development and Sociology and related disciplines will be considered.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone wishing to join an outstanding department and a highly successful school. The role will provide much professional development for the successful candidate, to support further career progression. Unstinting support will be given. If you would like to discuss this post further, please do not hesitate to contact Danielle Largue, Deputy Headteacher.

St Mary’s is a great place to work and provides excellent job satisfaction, as it is a very supportive environment. We provide excellent CPD for ECTs and recently qualified teachers, as well as on-going training for more experienced teachers. There are opportunities for teachers at all levels to help develop teaching and learning across the school, working collaboratively with teachers from other departments, whether as coaches or researchers. The working environment is, therefore, a very stimulating one for all staff and is an added attraction of this post.

St Mary’s is a very popular school, rated Outstanding by the Diocese and Ofsted. We enjoy outstanding facilities in a building, which opened in 2011. We joined the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust in June 2020. We are also very popular with parents and are one of the most over-subscribed schools in the North-East. The roll has grown from around 1100 five years ago to over 1450 by September 2024, with 5 main school year groups of around 235-240 and a Sixth Form of approximately 270 students. We expect the Sixth Form to continue to grow in the next couple of years, as strongly academic year groups continue to move into the Sixth Form.

At St Mary’s, H&S Care, Child Development and Sociology are well-established and highly respected departments with excellent results. Recent highlights include:-

• 86% of A Level Psychology students in 2024 achieved A*-C. 58% grades A*-B over the last 5 years
• 60% of Sociology students achieved at least a grade B over the last 3 years, with 84 A*-C in 2024
• BTEC Health and Social Care students have 82% Distinction* or Distinction grades over the last 3 years, with 96% Merit or better.
• 89% of BTEC Children’s Play, Learning and Development students achieved a Merit or better over the last 3 years, with 63% Distinction or better.

Leadership, teaching and the climate for learning in H&SC, Child Development and Sociology are all outstanding, as they are across the school.

Above all, the Governors wish to appoint a leader with:-

• A clear commitment to nurturing and promoting the school’s distinctive ethos
• A passion for providing the best possible holistic education for all students
• A commitment to maximising achievement through excellence in teaching and learning
• An excellent track record as a classroom teacher
• The ability to promote a love of learning H&SC, Child Development and Sociology in our students

Closing date: 9.00am on Monday 30th June 2025. Interviews will take place that week.

The school is fully committed to safeguarding and the welfare of children and young people. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
