At St Patrick's Catholic Primary School, we are proud to be a welcoming, ambitious and inclusive school at the heart of our community. Every child is known, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential, and every member of staff plays a vital role in making this happen.

Our children are enthusiastic, kind and eager to learn. They are proud of their school, demonstrate excellent behaviour and enjoy a rich curriculum that inspires curiosity, creativity and a love of learning. We are equally committed to our staff, providing a supportive environment where professional growth is nurtured, ideas are valued and achievements are celebrated.

• Is an excellent classroom practitioner, or has the potential to become one, with high expectations for every child.
• Is passionate about delivering engaging, high-quality teaching that enables all pupils to succeed.
• Contributes positively to the wider life of the school and embraces opportunities to collaborate with colleagues.
• Has high expectations of pupils' achievement, behaviour and personal development.
• Is reflective, enthusiastic and committed to continuous professional development.
• Has the ambition and potential to contribute to curriculum development and, over time, subject leadership.

In return, we offer:

• Happy, respectful and motivated children who love coming to school and are eager to learn.
• A welcoming, supportive and caring school community where staff wellbeing is valued.
• A highly collaborative and dedicated team of colleagues and governors who are committed to achieving the very best outcomes for all pupils.
• Excellent mentoring and support for ECTs, alongside high-quality professional development for teachers at every stage of their career.
• Opportunities to develop leadership skills and take on additional responsibilities as your career progresses.
• Access to collaboration, networking and career development opportunities across our wider Trust.
• The chance to make a genuine difference within a school that is ambitious for both its pupils and its staff.

St Patrick's Catholic Primary School is a proud member of the Cardinal Newman Catholic Educational Trust, providing opportunities for collaboration across a family of schools united by a shared commitment to excellence in Catholic education.
