The governors of St Michael’s Catholic School are seeking a great leader and passionate teacher to join the team at this great school. At St Michael’s school we are building a family where we have two main goals:

• To love the children
• To teach them well

For you to be successful in your role you will need to be a great teacher first and foremost. We will support and grow the successful candidate to become a great subject leader and are looking for someone who shows great promise and is eager to learn from other great leaders.

While the school focuses on French as the core language for all learners, there may be the option to develop a second language for gifted linguists over time.

You will be joining a school with massive potential. Further, you will be joining a family of schools in the St Thomas Catholic Academies Trust and will benefit from the career development that is only possible thanks to the networking and collaboration that takes place across schools that work together with a single purpose: excellence.

You will learn much about our school from our website, but you will learn much more if you call us or visit us - we would love you to do both should you wish to do so. To arrange a discussion about the role please email SSoares@stmichaelscs.org and a member of our team will get back to you.

Please complete your application through the MyNewTerm website.
