What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for someone who will:

• Lead and develop, together with the Head Teacher, the Church of England ethos of the school;
• Lead and facilitate collective worship across the school and all Church services;
• Offer pastoral support to students within the existing pastoral structure of the school and offer support to staff;
• Provide opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, and Christian teaching, for individuals and groups;
• Maintain a Christian perspective on all aspects of the life of the school, working with staff, students and parents from across the school.
• Maintain and establish links beyond the school;
• Teach at Key Stages 3-5 as required (6 lessons per week). The teaching commitment would be greater if the role were full-time as the additional time would be made up with teaching lessons.

What the school offers its staff

We are excited to recruit an ordained Church of England priest to become our part-time Chaplain at The Grey Coat Hospital. The Grey Coat Hospital, founded in 1698, is a Church of England school for girls aged eleven to eighteen with a mixed Sixth Form. The historic foundation of the school and its current ethos are rooted in a confident and generous Christian faith and practice, which welcomes students and staff of all backgrounds and beliefs. The successful candidate will lead and develop the Church of England ethos of the school and teach as required. The school is situated in the heart of central London close to excellent transport links.

We are a heavily oversubscribed comprehensive school with excellent GCSE results. In 2023, 90% of students attained 5+ subjects overall including 9-4 in English and Mathematics. 54% of all grades attained in all subjects at KS4 were 7-9 and our overall pass rate at grades 9-4 was 94.2%.

We have a large sixth form of over 300 students where students achieve outstanding results which regularly puts The Grey Coat Hospital in the top 10% of non-selective schools nationally. This was achieved again in 2023.

The Grey Coat Hospital, when last inspected, was judged to be ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED in October 2022. In 2020, the school achieved ‘excellent’ in the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools. We are proud of our ethos of continued self-improvement, which characterises every aspect of our culturally diverse school. The school is committed to building on our passion for excellent teaching and learning as well as continuing to place an emphasis on our language specialism and international ethos.
