Croydon, Greater London, United Kingdom St Mary's Catholic High School Full time

Due to our increasing school roll, the Governors wish to appoint a Teacher of English and Drama for September 2024.

The closing date for applications September 2024 is Wednesday, 8th May at 12noon.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about teaching high-quality lessons, while nurturing and inspiring our students. You will be joining a team that enthuse and motivate students to strive for success while maintaining a healthy learning environment in line with the core principles of our Mission Statement.

Our English teachers have the highest expectations of – and for – our students, and are committed to instilling a love of reading and learning in order to create independent, inquisitive and critical thinkers, who are able to make connections and draw links across their learning journey. Drama has been a popular subject at the school, presently taught through the English curriculum at Key Stage 3, and as an option subject in Key Stage 4.

In the summer of 2022, the school achieved an excellent set of examination results, with a Progress 8 score in English which placed it as the highest of all Croydon schools, and well above the national average. English has played significant role in the raising the overall standards at the school.

In November 2021, Ofsted rated the school as Good, stating: 'St Mary's Catholic High School is a deeply caring community. Its pupils and staff live up to their core values of being welcoming, serving others, and working hard.'

In December 2021, the Diocesan Section 48 inspection stated that: 'The good behaviour of pupils contributes to the good learning attitudes of the pupils which together creates a harmonious Catholic community where everyone is respected no matter whatever their background. This in turn supports the clear mission of the school which is to welcome, serve others and work hard.'

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS:

Committed to teaching high quality English lessons. A passion for performing arts and who can nurture the talents of our students across the school. A confident team player who understands the importance of relationships. A selfless individual, putting the needs of students above all else. A proactive and hardworking, with the confidence to seek solutions to problems first as opposed to passing them on. An outstanding communicator with all stakeholders. Determined and patient, with the willpower to see things through. An outstanding practitioner who leads by example, with the ability to listen and self-reflect. Highly organised, with the ability to work under pressure to deadlines. Inspirational, creative, and innovative. Passionate about moving our school from 'good' to 'outstanding'.WHY CHOOSE US?

St Mary's Catholic High School is an 11-16, co-educational, comprehensive school based in the heart of Croydon. It has been serving the local community since its foundation in 1851. The school prides itself on its diverse and harmonious school community, where students feel safe and well cared for, with leaders who expect all pupils to achieve highly, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and speakers of other languages who are beginning to learn English. Our school is in a well-connected location, just a few minutes' walk from East and West Croydon Stations and other local transport hubs connecting the region.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside a team of outstanding teachers, to observe and share good practice on a regular basis. We take great pride in the opening comment our recent Ofsted inspection (Nov 2021) which stated that: "St Mary's Catholic High School is a deeply caring community. Its pupils and staff live up to their core values of being welcoming, serving others and working hard." In addition, they recognised that "Pupils like coming to school and enjoy learning. They feel safe here and know that staff go the extra mile to check their whereabouts and well-being."

Our school curriculum is broad and balanced and offers students and staff the opportunity to participate in a wide range of enrichment and extra-curricular activities. We care about staff work-life balance throughout the school and ensure that there is equality of opportunity for career progression and development. in recent years staff have progressed to senior leadership positions at the school and locally, including headship.
