Governors welcome applications from teachers (newly qualified or experienced) who are keen to develop their career in a thriving department that secures very good results. A willingness to take a full and active part in the Catholic life of the school is essential.

Religious Education is at the core of our curriculum and is taught across both key stages and all ability ranges. The Catholic life and mission of the school underpins everything that we do and is supported by the whole school community, our local parishes and feeder primary schools.

We are a truly comprehensive school which believes in achievement for all and are proud to serve the diverse Leeds Catholic community. While our Catholic ethos sets us apart from other schools we welcome staff and students from all backgrounds and faiths. In February 2018 Ofsted judged the school to be ‘Good’ and we are currently searching for committed individuals who wish to join us on our path to ‘Outstanding’.

We will offer you a school that:

• Will encourage and support you in our journey to ‘Outstanding’.
• Works collaboratively, is willing to try new ideas and appreciates change when the intended impact is clear.
• Is committed to CPD and preparing teachers for future opportunities that come their way.
