Our school is a happy school, where relationships are positive, respect is prevalent, and expectations are high.  We challenge all members of our school community to “be kind, try your best and follow the rules” – our students are our greatest asset and never fail to inspire and impress staff and visitors.  Staff have high expectations of all students, whatever their starting point; students have the drive and ambition to meet these expectations.  Our GCSE results in 2024 were once again amongst the highest in Leeds, which is testament to the way that our students and staff work together to create a positive, ambitious and caring learning environment.

Governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, self-motivated and inspiring cover supervisor.  We are looking for someone who is qualified to GCSE Grade C or above in English and Maths or NVQ Level 2 and ideally has experience of working with children in a classroom setting.

If you can offer vision, drive and a commitment to supporting and developing young people within our Catholic school then we want to hear from you.  We are particularly interested in candidates who share our commitment to improving the life chances of young people regardless of background.
