About us
St Augustine’s is a vibrant, successful 11-16 school situated in the heart of Scarbrough. Over the years we have become the school of choice for our community. We are consistently oversubscribed and have strong partnerships with our local schools enabling us to be outward facing in our teaching and learning and innovative in offering a wide range of professional opportunities for our staff.
As a Catholic School we place great value on the individuality of each child in our care. We want excellence in all aspects of learning, priding ourselves on our positive Catholic ethos, which supports and enhances the personal development and well-being of every individual. We aim to provide the very best learning opportunities where students are challenged, inspired and encouraged to reach their full potential.
We believe that there is no limit to what a young person can achieve if they are given the right levels of encouragement and support. As a school we work in partnership with students, their parents/carers and the community to ensure that we make the most of these important times.
Teaching posts rarely come up at our school, and we are looking for innovative, passionate and child centered professionals to join us.
So why work at St Augustine’s?
1. Teaching and Learning
At St Augustine’s we believe in life long learing; learning that is an enjoyable experience for all. Quality first teaching is at the core of everything we do. Every student is entitled to experience a variety of teaching and learning styles which enable them to achieve their full potential and be the best they can be. We aim, through successful teaching and learning underpinned by researching practice, to develop the whole child and to enable our students to become life long learners.
Leaders consistently evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and learning within their departments and seek opportunities for regular developmental feedback and training, which creates the strong, supportive and vibrant culture at St Augustine’s.
2. Expectations
There is a firm and fair approach to behaviour, underpinned by an ethos of positive relationships. Students and staff strive to be the best they can be. Teachers pass on a love of their subject and prioritise the planning and teaching of their lessons. School leaders walk the talk: they all teach, love their subjects, understand the importance of avoiding workload pressures and are highly visible around the school. We have invested in a comprehensive pastoral system in order to support the well-being of all. We also have a specialist well-being team who work with students and staff to create a nurturing environment in which no one gets left behind. St Augustine’s whole heartedly promotes the raising aspirations of young people and subscribe to our strap line of ‘Love and Serve through Christ’
3. Partnerships and out of the box thinking
We work closely with the Diocese of Middlesborough Teaching Alliance where we are a lead school along with supporting the Scarborough Teaching Alliance as a coastal partner. The North Yorkshire Coast Opportunity Area has brought new ideas and professional development opportunities across Whitby, Scarborough and Filey as we work together on the social mobility agenda.
