Contract: Permanent

Hours: 1 FTE

Location: Richmond, North Yorkshire, St Francis Xavier Secondary School

The governors of this highly successful and oversubscribed school seek to appoint an enthusiastic, inspirational and talented teacher of Mathematics, who has experience in teaching at GCSE level. This is an opportunity to join a dynamic and very successful team working in a school with excellent facilities and very high academic standards.

This role would be ideal for an ECT.



St Francis Xavier School is a joint RC/CE 11-16 Mixed Comprehensive serving the picturesque market town of Richmond and the surrounding rural area. We are located close to the A1 and A66 and in commutable distance from York, Durham and Teesside. The school has an excellent reputation in the local community. The school is a strategic partner for the Red Kite Teaching School Hub. It offers a comprehensive training
programme for teachers at all stages in their careers.



St Francis Xavier Secondary School is part of the Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust, a family of 38 schools, and two vibrant Sixth Form Colleges. With more than 12,300 students and 1,500 staff, NPCAT is now one of the largest multi-academy trusts in the UK.



The school is consistently amongst the highest performing in the country in terms of progress and currently has the top Progress 8 of all schools in North Yorkshire.



The last Ofsted Inspection highlighted the following:
The school has extremely high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils' conduct

is consistently excellent. Pupils are considerate of others. In lessons, they listen
attentively and value the contributions of peers. Pupils recognise the importance
of working hard. Their attitudes towards learning are consistently positive. This
contributes to the studious atmosphere in lessons.
Pupils achieve exceptionally well across the curriculum. This is reflected in

published outcomes from national examinations. Pupils with special educational
needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from the same rich curriculum as their
peers. They achieve equally impressive academic outcomes.

Please note you do not need to be a regular attender at Church but you do need to be happy to support the Christian ethos of the school.



You are welcome to visit our school prior to application or to have an informal discussion with the Headteacher. Please contact Mrs H. Harland, Senior Business Support Officer at recruitment@sfx.npcat.org.uk or on 01748 823414 to book an
