Due to the our current, highly respected and successful Headteacher moving abroad, the Governing Body of this very popular Catholic school are seeking to appoint a Headteacher who can build on the school's current strengths and lead the school to the next level.

St Anthony's Catholic Primary School elected to become an Academy in April 2013 as part of a 4-school Multi Academy Trust (consisting of 3 primary schools and 1 high school). Links between all 4 schools are strong, with many new initiatives being developed as part of their development plan.

St Anthony's School is in the Parish of Our Lady Queen of Peace and is the largest Catholic primary school in Manchester, with 90 full-time Nursery places.

Governors invite applications from practising Catholic teachers.

We are seeking a Head Teacher who has:

• A commitment to, and understanding of the Catholic mission of the school;
• A passion to ensure that every child succeeds and is treated as an individual;
• Proven leadership and management skills;
• A clear understanding of how to achieve and maintain high standards for all pupils;
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

We can offer you:

• A happy and caring school, with an ethos built on our Catholic foundation;
• Friendly and dedicated colleagues and governors;
• Happy and well behaved children who have excellent attitudes to learning;
• Supportive parents;
• Strong partnerships with St Anthony's Church, local schools and the local community.

You are warmly encouraged to visit our school. Please ring Mrs Lynn Oldham, on 0161 437 3029, to arrange an appointment.

The successful candidate will be required to sign the CES contract.

About us

We are a busy but friendly school, with lots going on.

The children of St. Anthony's are pleasant, cheerful and well behaved; they have zest and character; indeed are usually a credit to themselves and their families. Most are enthusiastic, keen to learn and it is our job, as their teachers, to see that their hopes and aspirations are fulfilled.

The progress of every child is immensely important to us all, and we hope that our work as teachers will enable them to develop to their fullest potential. In St. Anthony's we look to create and establish the sort of environment in which pupils of all ages can feel content and comfortable.

In the same way, we seek to forge excellent relationships with parents so that the concept of partnership is seen as the way forward at all times.
