St John’s Catholic Primary School is a highly successful and inclusive school within the Archdiocese of Liverpool.
Due to the forthcoming retirement of our highly respected, successful and much loved Headteacher, Governors are looking to appoint a Headteacher, who is inspirational, enthusiastic and committed to leading our school in the next stage of its development.
Our reputation is strong, and the school community supports the vision and Catholic ethos of the school. This is a wonderful opportunity for a practising Catholic, who is dynamic, forward thinking and who can work in partnership with staff, children, senior leaders and governors, to drive the continued and future successes of our school.
