What skills and experience we're looking for

The Directors of Emmaus Catholic Multi Academy Company, supported by the Archdiocese of Birmingham, are looking to appoint an ambitious, experienced and suitably qualified practising Catholic to cover the maternity leave of the substantive Principal at this “school where pupils are happy to attend” and “staff are proud to work” (Ofsted, March 2023).

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School is a very popular school, which following its Ofsted inspection in March 2023, was recognised as continuing to be a ‘Good’ school. Leaders set an ambitious vision for what they want pupils to achieve and show drive and determination to raise aspirations for all pupils. We have a committed staff team, a supportive and knowledgeable Local Governing Body and very strong links with our local parish.

The successful candidate will be an effective leader, who will continue to raise standards and further enhance teaching, learning and the curriculum so that it enriches the lives of our children, makes learning engaging and fun, and ensures that every child’s talents are developed to the full.

Under the leadership of the Catholic Senior Executive Leader (CEO), the successful candidate will play a full part in the Committee of Principals, the vehicle through which policy, procedure and effective collaborative practice is developed, in order to raise academic achievement across all Emmaus Catholic MAC schools.

What the school offers its staff

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward thinking and growing MAC, committed to an exciting vision of providing “excellent education for all in the heart of our communities: nourishing faith, nurturing talent, fostering aspiration.” We really look forward to receiving your applications.
