Second in Faculty: Science

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive and motivated individual to join our school community and take up a leadership position in science. This is a pivotal role for an experienced teacher who is passionate about raising achievement and shaping the curriculum for GCSE success.

We were rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in July 2022, were inspected again in October 2026 and are excited to be able to share our new report when it is published in the coming weeks. In our Catholic School Inspection in October 2024, we were graded ‘Grade 2, Good’.
