If you're interested in teaching or training to teach in England as an international citizen, we can help you understand your next steps.

Although this is a full time position, we are also interested to hear from applicants wishing to apply on a part time basis as there is flexibility to offer a PPA position or a part time class teacher role.

We welcome applicants from all faiths or none. It is not a pre-requisite to be Catholic to apply.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, dedicated and highly motivated teacher to work in our happy school. The class teacher vacancy will be in Year 3, so recent or current experience of Key Stage 2 year groups could be an advantage. Please state both your curriculum area of interest in your application along with your relevant experience. We are interested to hear from applicants who would be able to lead an area of the curriculum. For a suitably qualified and experienced candidate, there is an opportunity to be paid up to UPS 1 only and agree the appropriate areas to lead and manage, one of which must be English.
