What skills and experience we're looking for
To deliver high-quality teaching that inspires, challenges, and supports all pupils to achieve their full potential academically, personally, and spiritually, in line with the Catholic ethos and values of St Bede’s Catholic High School.
What the school offers its staff
As a Catholic school within the Diocese of Lancaster, our ethos of ‘Being a Bede’ encapsulates what we believe we are all about as a school community. We are a family, in which each child in our care is supported and challenged to make the very most of their God-given potential and to be the best that they can be in every aspect of their personal, spiritual, and academic development.
Our expectations regarding behaviour, uniform, and respect towards others are unapologetically high. Our pupils are proud to ‘Be a Bede’ and, in turn, we are proud of them and their achievements. Visitors to the school frequently comment on the calm and caring atmosphere they experience, and the warm welcome they receive from pupils and staff alike.
“At Saint Bede’s Catholic High School, pupils clearly feel part of a community where they are valued as unique individuals. They readily bear witness to the ways in which they are supported and cared for by senior leaders, the whole staff team, and each other. They appreciate the distinctive Catholic nature of their school, speak warmly of it, and value being part of the St Bede’s family.” Catholic Schools Inspection – March 2023
We are seeking to appoint enthusiastic and committed professionals to join our school community and contribute to the high standards and inclusive provision for which Saint Bede’s is known. Staff at all levels work collaboratively to ensure that barriers to learning are removed and that every pupil is supported to achieve their full potential. We value creativity, dedication, and a shared commitment to delivering an excellent educational experience for all.
Potential candidates are very welcome to visit our school to meet our pupils and staff and to experience first-hand the strong sense of community that defines Saint Bede’s.
We look forward to receiving your application.
