St Catherine’s is a school very proud of its friendly atmosphere, excellent pastoral care and strong academic reputation. Our School Mission captures the spirit of our happy, confident and inclusive community.
We seek an enthusiastic and well-qualified graduate who has the ability to teach Chemistry and/or Physics; however, teachers with any science specialism are welcome to apply. S/he will be an inspirational and committed teacher who understands the way to motivate and inspire pupils, and enjoys communicating a passion for science.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate excellent planning, teaching and assessment skills, and have high expectations, excellent classroom management, strong pastoral skills and the ability to motivate, encourage and inspire pupils. S/he will be expected to play a full and positive part in the life of the School.
The postholder will teach all sciences at key stage three, and would be likely to teach his/her own science specialisms at GCSE. The post is suitable for an experienced teacher or ECT and we welcome applications from teachers who are also able to teach an additional subject and/or who have other skills and experience to offer.
The School is interested in applicants who are ambitious about pupil progress and committed to creating a dynamic, rich and broad curriculum. Initiatives to strengthen the exciting extension and enrichment programme will be valued, as will a well-judged and knowledgeable focus on the learning needs of individual pupils.
If you feel you have the experience, enthusiasm and commitment necessary for this post, then we would be delighted to receive an application from you.
Please complete the enclosed application form and send it together with a covering letter addressed to the Headmistress. Please note that only applications on the School’s application form will be considered. Please return your application via email to recruitment@stcatherineschool.co.uk
Closing date for applications: 11am on Monday 17 March 2025. First interviews will be held later that week.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received so early application is recommended and the School reserves the right to appoint prior to the closing date.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
