We provide a first class INSET programme at Bishop Challoner, which supports the professional development of teachers at all stages in their careers.
Bishop Challoner is a very successful, heavily over-subscribed mixed 11-19 Catholic comprehensive school in the South of Birmingham. We were designated one of the first 100 Teaching Schools in the country and we are also a lead school for the Central Maths Hub, the Central Midland Science Learning Partnership, the Schools Sports Partnership and most recently, the Central Computing Hub. This is a measure of the high achievements of the school and its excellence in training and developing staff. This will allow exciting opportunities for any newly appointed members of staff.
Bishop Challoner is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. It has policies and procedures to ensure that this occurs. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.
