About Us

St Wilfrid's is an "Outstanding Catholic School" where "staff are excellent role models" and where students say that the school "feels like a family where people care for each other" (Catholic Schools Inspection 2024).



If you want to work in a School where everyone is valued and supported to be the best they can be (both students and staff) then this is the school for you. Please click on the following link or copy to your browser to get a flavour of St Wilfrid's here. As you will see from the link, we have great facilities, great staff and above all, great students!



This is a school that wants to be the very best it can be. Do you want to be part of that? We really do value our teachers and actively support their professional development. You do not need to be a Catholic to work here, indeed many of our staff are not, but a willingness to embrace the ethos of the school is expected.



The strength of community at St Wilfrid's is a strong one based upon mutual respect. The staff work incredibly hard and are prepared to go the extra mile for the students in their charge. Our students are amazing and they contribute enormously to making the school such a welcoming and productive place. Our most recent Catholic School Inspection Report (October 2024) and our _blank">Ofsted Report (March 2023) certainly reinforce this aspect of school life. All potential applicants are invited and encouraged to arrange a visit - we firmly believe you won't be disappointed!
