Teacher of English

At Saints Peter & Paul Catholic High School, we are proud to be “An Inclusive Community of Excellence and Opportunity.” Our vibrant and dynamic school values respect, aspiration, and compassion, and every member of staff plays an important role in promoting these values.

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’. Inspectors recognised the tangible sense of community experienced by students and staff who feel valued and cared for. Our outreach work with other schools has shared good practice and been recognised by the DfE.

We need an inspirational teacher of English who would relish the opportunity to join our dedicated and talented staff. Our English department is dynamic, forward-thinking, and committed to excellence. We are proud to be part of the DfE National English Projects and serve as an ARK Ambassador School for English, ensuring our team is at the forefront of innovative practice and national developments. We offer exceptional support for Early Career Teachers through a robust induction and mentoring programme, creating a nurturing environment for professional growth. Beyond the classroom, we have a vibrant extra-curricular offer, including theatre trips, creative writing clubs, and opportunities for students to engage with literature in exciting ways. Our curriculum is ambitious and well-resourced, and we actively encourage collaboration and creativity among staff. With access to ongoing CPD, leadership development pathways, and a culture that values both academic rigour and enrichment, this is an outstanding opportunity to join a team that truly inspires a love of English.

We will offer you the opportunity to:

• Be welcomed into a supportive staff team and experience our special sense of community
• Be supported in your continued professional development
• Become part of the extremely strong and supportive Archdiocese of Liverpool Secondary School Improvement Trust in which there are regular opportunities to collaborate and share practice
