The academy currently educates almost 1600 pupils aged 11-19 and prides itself as an inclusive centre of educational excellence, rooted in its community.  Staff at Queen Katharine are committed to providing an education that transforms lives and gives all our pupils the opportunities they deserve, regardless of where they are from or their personal starting points.

You will have exceptional communications skills, allowing you to build strong relationships with pupils, staff, parents and those with local governance roles, as well as with key external stakeholders.


If you think you have the qualities necessary to take on this challenging but ultimately rewarding role of Vice Principal and you believe wholeheartedly in raising the aspiration and successfully changing the lives of our pupils, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
