Teacher of English

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive and motivated individual to join our school community who can contribute towards our mission, to be “An Inclusive Community of Excellence and Opportunity”.

At our vibrant and dynamic school, we focus on being respectful, aspirational and compassionate. Every member of staff plays an important role in promoting these values.

The school is proud of its open, collaborative, supportive and forward-thinking culture and we are at an exciting point of our development.

We were rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in July 2022 and also ‘Grade 2, Good’ in our Catholic School Inspection in October 2024.  Inspectors recognised that there is a tangible sense of community at Saints Peter & Paul which is experienced by students and staff who feel valued and cared for.

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

In return, we will offer you:

• A supportive staff team within a special community.
• Strong professional development and access to high-quality CPD.
• Membership of the extremely strong and supportive Archdiocese of Liverpool Secondary School Improvement Trust in which there are regular opportunities to collaborate and share practice.
• Staff wellbeing initiatives and flexible working options.

Prospective candidates are invited to an Open Event on Tuesday 13th January 2026 at 5pm to come and meet the staff.
