Headteacher: J Foster NOR c.1350
Required for September 2018.
The Governors wish to appoint an enthusiastic and well-qualified Psychology teacher to join this outstanding school. The role may appeal to a teacher seeking their first teaching post or, equally, to recently qualified or more experienced teachers, looking to work in an outstanding school. Both part-time Psychology teacher applications and full-time applications, from teachers who are able to offer a second subject, are welcomed. St Mary’s is a great place to work and provides excellent job satisfaction, as it is a very supportive environment. We provide excellent on going professional development for teachers at all levels.
The successful candidate will contribute to a school that prides itself on very high standards of teaching and learning. As in all of our appointments, we are looking for a teacher who has a passion for providing an excellent holistic education for students and who would be committed to promoting the school’s distinctive Catholic/Christian ethos.
St Mary’s is a very successful, popular and happy school, rated Outstanding by the Diocese and Ofsted. We became an academy in 2013 and enjoy outstanding facilities in a new building, which opened in 2011. We are also very popular with parents and are one of the most over-subscribed schools in the north-east. We have around 1,150 students in the main school and our Sixth Form, of over 200, is expected to grow to 300 in the next three years.
In addition, we are a Teaching School, increasingly engaged in school to school support, initial teacher training and CPD and leadership development across the region. As a result, further opportunities for professional development are wide-ranging and an added attraction for potential new staff.
Psychology has proven to be a popular and successful subject since its introduction 2 years ago at A Level. The first cohort in 2017 had 100% pass rate, with 50% of grades A*-B and 75% A*-C. At AS level, over the last 2 years, 63% of grades were A*-C. There may be opportunities to introduce Psychology into KS4 to develop the subject further.
Above all, the Governors wish to appoint a teacher with:-
• A clear commitment to nurturing and promoting the school’s distinctive ethos
• A passion for providing the best possible holistic education for all students
• A commitment to maximising achievement through excellence in teaching and learning
• An excellent track record as a classroom teacher.
