We are delighted that you are considering applying for the Assistant Headteacher at St Mary's Catholic Primary School, within the St. Francis Catholic MAT. This is a truly exciting time to be joining St. Francis as a new Catholic Trust of 13 schools, growing to 24 schools in line with the Bishop of Hallam's vision for education.



St. Mary's is a warm and welcoming school where every member of the community is valued and celebrated as an individual with unique qualities, gifts and talents. Our aim as an inclusive school is to provide high quality education for all children. We want our children to love learning, and have created a motivating, purposeful and diverse curriculum so that they are challenged and engaged. Through our dedicated staff team, we have created a supportive and engaging environment where every child is encouraged to aim high and reach their full potential.



We have a culture of excellence where the standards and expectations are high, consistent and clear. Our Catholic values and ethos permeate all aspects of school life, and Christ is at the heart of all we do. Our children are provided with opportunities to develop their personal faith and relationship with God.



We are part of the St Francis Catholic Multi Academy Trust which is a trust of 12 primary schools and 1 secondary school. Trustees have a clear vision which promotes excellence, equality and high expectations for all pupils. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to join a community of leaders working across the Trust in an exciting framework of professional development.



We are seeking a candidate who can work with the Headteacher to protect the long-standing traditions of the school as well as introducing new, innovative strategies to take our school into the next stage of its journey. Alongside the support and community of our Trust leaders, the successful candidate will have a passion for teaching and learning and curriculum design in order to continue to develop our school and prepare our children for the most outstanding futures.



We welcome interested applicants to come and visit the school, to meet the Headteacher, the staff and the students and to understand the aspirations that the school has for the future.
