Join us and help us shape the future of Catholic Education in Leicestershire.
The St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is looking to appoint a new Deputy Headteacher to this very high performing and nationally renowned Catholic Secondary School from August 2022.
St Martin’s Catholic School is part of the St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Multi Academy Trust, along with all the Catholic schools in Leicestershire. It is a thriving, highly successful, and routinely over-subscribed school of 780 students aged 11-16 (Ofsted 2019 Good / DCI 2017 Good). The student body is drawn from the southwest of Leicestershire serving nine parishes. Currently 20% of the school are Catholic students. The school is the home of the Midland Knowledge Hub, which supports teachers across the region in developing knowledge-rich curricula, as well as the DfE Exemplary Leadership Programme.
Situated in Stoke Golding, Leicestershire, we offer an exciting learning community where every child is given the opportunity to enjoy reaching their full potential – intellectually, spiritually, physically and creatively.

• an excellent, bespoke induction programme;
• employee benefits which include Medicash and our Electric Car Scheme.
The successful candidate will:
• be a practising Catholic with a strong faith commitment and a clear vision for Catholic Education;
• ensure that the example and teachings of Jesus Christ are at the centre of all that we do;
• have a proven track records of successful leadership, management and school improvement with specific regard to safeguarding, behaviour and pastoral leadership;
• give the safety and wellbeing of young people the highest priority;
• have the vision, drive and energy to initiate, lead and manage strategies to build on the current successes and achievements of the school;
• be passionate about ensuring that each pupil fulfils their unique potential;
• be a confident, positive and visible leader with the ability to build relationships with staff, pupils, parents, Governors, Directors and others working in the CMAT and a wide variety of external partners;
• be able to build successful teams and work collaboratively with others to achieve success;
• have the ability to drive themselves and others;
• be able to respond and adapt effectively to changing circumstances, maintaining high levels of performance;
• actively listen and effectively communicate to a wide range of audiences.
