The St John Paul II Multi Academy is a highly successful Catholic Multi Academy encompassing seven Primary Schools and two Secondary Schools. Our schools are based in Sutton Coldfield, Erdington and Aston.

The ethos of St John Paul II Multi Academy is Catholic, founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for children of Catholic families. It is essential that the Catholic character of the school’s education be fully supported by all staff within the multi academy. We hope that all staff will give their full, unreserved and positive support for the aims and ethos of the St John Paul II Multi Academy.

• Have a good understanding of the National Curriculum.
• Be enthusiastic and a good communicator.
• Have high standards of oral, written, and numeracy skills.
• Be committed to raising pupils’ attainment, particularly in literacy and mathematics, and have an understanding of intervention strategies applicable to Key Stage 1 and 2.

• Be committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all children.

We can offer you:

• A positive caring ethos based upon the values of the Catholic faith.
• Well motivated happy children who love to come to school and are excited about learning.
• An exciting opportunity for collaborative working as part of a forward-thinking Multi Academy that provides opportunities to support and develop your continuing professional development.

• The opportunity of being part of a dynamic, professional, friendly team.
• Strong parish links and supportive parents, Local Governing Board, and Senior Leadership Team.
