Do I have to be Catholic to work in a Catholic school?
Our Catholic Faith is what makes St Wilfrid’s so special. It is woven into everything we do; this includes welcoming everyone that comes through our doors. 47.5% of teachers in Catholic schools are Catholic. Catholic schools value and respect all staff members regardless of backgrounds or beliefs and promote and support the vocation of teaching.
For certain Leadership positions (eg. Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher and Head of Religious Education) there is a requirement that the position be filled by a practicing Catholic in order to maintain the Catholic ethos of the school. This is in line with Equalities Act 2010.
