“Aspire not to have more but to be more”- Oscar Romero
Our Lady’s Catholic College is a successful comprehensive school with an excellent sixth form provision situated in Lancaster, Lancashire. We are growing in popularity and currently oversubscribed due to recent improvements not only in results but also in pupils’ behaviour. Parents recognise the excellent standard of pastoral care and we have a culture of high expectations resulting in a happy school to work and learn in.
We belong to a Catholic Teaching Alliance and have a sharp focus on research based CPD which allows our staff to engage in the current approaches to understand how learning takes place. This inspires our staff to give the best possible learning experience to enable our pupils to be more effective learners.

The successful candidate will be joining a strong and experienced team of 6 RE teachers and will have the opportunity to support our pupils in deepening their understanding of Theology, Philosophy and Ethics across Key Stages 3,4 and 5.
