Permanent Post – Starting January 2026
Our school is a happy school, where relationships are positive, respect is prevalent, and expectations are high. We challenge all members of our school community to “be kind, try your best and follow the rules” – our students are our greatest asset and never fail to inspire and impress staff and visitors.
Staff have high expectations of all students, whatever their starting point; students have the drive and ambition to meet these expectations. Our GCSE results were once again amongst the highest in Leeds and we were ranked in the top fifty 11-16 schools in the country in the Sunday Times League Tables. In Spring 2023 Ofsted judged the school to be ‘Good’ and in April 2025 the school was awarded Outstanding by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate, which is testament to the way the whole school community have worked together to create a positive, caring environment.
We are seeking a dynamic, experienced and highly motivated professional to lead all aspects of school business management, including finance, HR, premises, ICT, administration, and marketing. The successful candidate will work closely with the headteacher, governors, and senior leaders to ensure the best use of resources in support of our mission to educate the whole person in a Catholic Christian context.
This is an exciting time to join our happy, oversubscribed school and be part of a dynamic team who contribute to our school community. If you can offer vision, drive and a commitment to supporting our Catholic school, and will share our commitment to improving the life chances of young people regardless of background, we would like to hear from you.
Willingness to support the Catholic ethos of the school is essential.
