An exciting opportunity has become available to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic English teacher at this “flagship” school where a strong sense of community adds value to the “Education of All”, and where staff say they “are proud to work here” (Ofsted 2023).
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)

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. For ECTs, we offer an in-depth programme of support and training based on the Early Careers Framework. We currently have 7 ECTs in their first year of teaching; this is a place where ECTs thrive! 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 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!
